John Deeth on his eponymous blog:
Caucuses with hundreds of people that take three or more hours to complete do ACTIVE DAMAGE to our organizing efforts.

We don’t lose Democratic votes over it in the fall, and eventually they caucus again, only because they have no choice. But we lose PEOPLE. People who might be donors or volunteers instead sit on the sidelines because they are convinced the local Democrats are a shit show – because their first experience when they try to join is getting told “stand in line for 45 minutes to sign in, then go stand in the corner for three hours to vote.”
This is not the reason I’m convinced the local Democrats are a shit show, but Deeth isn’t wrong, either.
