Washington State caucus - Winner will not be anounced tonight

What is important to understand about Saturday is the Washington Democratic Party will not be announcing a winner. Officials said the purpose of Saturday is to elect 27,170 delegates from the precinct caucuses statewide. That number will be winnowed down at county and congressional district caucuses in May.

What will be learned Saturday is how many of those 27,170 delegates are backing Sanders or Clinton. Party officials think initial results will start coming in around 2 p.m. and every thing done by dinner.

This is not new nor nefarious. I was a delegate in 2004. It was done this way back then.
