We're looking for a room/couch for a Bernie volunteer to sleep for a few days until he flies out from Vancouver BC to DC on April 1st to march on the Capital building in protest of Citizens United. He has travelled from California to Nevada to Washington knocking doors for Bernie. Let me know if you can help him out! ...

Bernie just got King County ...

In precinct 239 (7 delegates); Bernie 5 / HRC 2;
We got 5 delegates and 5 alternates voted in/proper paperwork processed. There wasn't any voting issues as far as I know.
...

When is Whatcom County going to post?? I can't stand the suspense. I hope everything is going okay, it seemed pretty good at my precinct. ...

I wish everyone had seen the caucus at Sunnyland. A little chaotic at times but a GREAT experience. Washington showed the country how to do a caucus today!!! Thanks to the Sunnyland PTA for providing refreshments, that was really nice.

Do you think if more people had known you could be in and out in literally FIVE MINUTES if you brought a preregistration form that maybe even more people would have showed up?

Please consider joining the Whatcom County Democratic Party. The party paid for the caucus, set all the rules, and ran it. It went swimmingly well considering it had been eight years since the last one, and each time it gets better. The more of us that contribute and make ourselves part of the process the louder our voices will be heard.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO TOOK PART TODAY, GREAT JOB!!! :)

Lucy Applegate DeGraceThere was no way for us to be in and out in 5 min at WCC despite having completed forms. No one seemed to know exactly how it was supposed to work. In at 945ish, out at noon.

Alan HallMore people would have showed up if they knew they could simply drop off their vote and leave. (I'd been telling people that since summer, but the establishment Dems said no, that we needed to tell people they had to stay for the whole thing.) Once your vote is in, it counts toward the precinct total. The only reason to stay after that is for delegate selection.

Lucy Applegate DeGraceHmm. I'd been led to believe that if we left early our vote wouldn't count. I am glad I stayed, met some great peeps, but probably would have left if I'd known I could have

Avatar

Ruth HesseThe downside to leaving is that you don't have the chance to be a delegate or an alternate. If too many people leave and those positions can't be filled, then we lose that delegate. That is why people should stay. Once the delegates are decided on and the party has their information is the best time to leave. But yes, if all you can do is drop off the form, I guess that's all you can do.

Ruth HesseIt was really hard to come up with enough delegates in my precinct (203). Lots of people couldn't commit because of work or kids. We are actually short on alternates.

Charis Snyder GilbertFor precinct 610 it was 2 Bernie, 1 Hillary. I haven't heard any results yet for the total Lynden caucus location, which was divided into "city" precincts and "county" precincts. My understanding for the city precincts is unofficially, it was 2 to 1, Bernie. The county was meeting in a separate part of the school building and I didn't see/hear any numbers. I will check with Alyce Werkema to see what she knows and post here.

Ok so the results are in for my Precinct 231 in Whatcom County Washington. Everybody I've talked to in different parts of the state are posting similar results. Looks good for Bernie!

Final tally:
Bernie - 157
Hillary - 7 (only 2 supporters showed up in person)

I also got chosen as a Delegate so hopefully make it all the way to Philly.

I have a friend who slept in and arrived to her caucus site and it's locked. Is it too late? I told her probably. Maybe she's at the wrong location? 2906 Moore Street in Bellingham. Anyone know what site that would be? The demcaucus site said it couldn't find her address. Thanks! ...

Ian HarperThat's where I caucused, it was at Carl Cozier elementary. We were done before noon. I think if your friend had shown up earlier she would have been counted as long as she was in before the final vote. We had a couple show up late they just weren't counted for the initial vote.

Caucus day is at hand. You absolutely need to show! If you know of people in your precinct who have submitted surrogate forms, be sure to ask the Caucus Chair if she/he has them If not file a complaint with the Chair to be delivered to County HQ. Cindi Carpenter and I went to a meeting today with our site leader at the caucus site. Both of us have spouses that submitted surrogate forms that did not make it back. Report such incidences in response to this message as well ...

Emmanuel Stanus-ghibAs the PCO i'm going to ask everyone in my caucus to write down the names of friends and family members who they know for a fact have submitted surrogate forms. I'm disturbed by this news because iv'e turned in approximately 16 surrogate forms from co-workers and friends, most of which are not in my precinct. Is there any way for people who have submitted surrogate forms to check and see that their forms have made it back?

Bob BurrOnly if they have friends who will be at the precinct caucus. An incident report can be filed with the PCO or caucus chair. If enough people complain to the State Party. I would press them to set up a hotline, With 18 times more surrogate forms than in 2008, screw-ups are natural. I hope that this is not an epidemic problem.

John HoguePeople who filed surrogate forms and had a change in plans that now allows them to caucus can do so, just make it clear to the PCO (acting or elected) that you did so. If your surrogate form is not there for whatever reason of course you can turn in a new ballot.

Mark WaschkeWe as well had missing surrogate forms. The PCO said take it up with the Bernie office [they faxed it in last fri.]. I said it was a Dem thing that it wasn't there. One or two more in our precinct and we may have had a sweep as opposed to 4-1. Four surrogate forms were included who were all for Bernie. I watched my girl friends be signed and faxed last week.

Amy PashovThanks Bob, I had one neighbor who I personally know sent hers in (I assisted in this) and it was not there. I called the hotline number right away (about 9:00 am)given to us from the bernie folks here in Bellingham and reported it. There was nothing they could do however. I then came home after the caucus and called two other families (three people total) who I had thought they also had said they had sent in surrogate forms, just to double check if this was wider spread in my area. I have not heard back from those folks as of yet. I had yet another neighbor that I also helped to print/scan her form and I was happy to see that it was there when i did the tally for my precinct: Precinct 137.
