Re: Hawaii Democratic Caucus - Oahu info
I was a volunteer at the 25th district caucus site at Stevenson School. In 2004, there were 48 people who showed up - tonite, just under 1,000. (only one district at our site) Everything started on time with the presidential poll starting right at 7pm, per party rules. It continued until everyone had gotten a chance to vote.
We then convened precinct meetings to elect officers & select delegates to the state convention. Then the fun began - counting the ballots! It took 2 counts but we finally got it right and were able to leave by 9:00 pm.
It was "organized" chaos - a few got upset with how things were going but by the time they got over to the precinct tables, it was pretty mellow. We didn't run out of forms or ballots. We seemed to have enough volunteers - and we all worked really hard! We kind of had to organize ourselves to take care of our precincts but it all worked out.
My precinct was able to fill the slate for our precinct officers, had enough folks sign up to be convention delegates and then we also chose new district officers.
Now, I'm going to fix a stiff drink, kick my shoes off & relax!
