From KING 5:

4:15 p.m. The Washington Democrats report a record-shattering turnout at today's caucuses. In a press release just sent out, they say initial counts suggest nearly double the turnout from four years ago - when a previous record of 100,000 Democrats was set.

2. It's a beautiful message being sent that we are having record beating number

turnouts in the primaries and the same in voter registration!

and that it shouldn't count.

5. That's what we had at the DFL caucuses in Minnesota

and the state party had originally predicted 80,000-100,000. The Republicans had about 68,000 turn out for their caucuses.

The Democratic turnout everywhere has been amazing.
