Last evening I convened Stewartville's Democrat caucus.
They caught me at a weak moment and I volunteered. lol...
I tried really hard to be prepared. Although I did skip the prep meeting they held.
So anyway, I got there and was setting up the room at 6 pm like they told me too. It was held at the high/middle school in one of the classrooms.
At previous caucuses that I have attended there were maybe 15 people that attended. I figured I could handle that.
So I am guessing you can imagine what happened.
People started to trickle in shortly after I arrived. Then suddenly the line started to grow, and the room was starting to look kind of small. One of the attendees was a teacher from the school and said she would see if maybe we could use the library or some place. She came back and said we could move to one of the back sections of the PAC, Performing Arts Center, aka the theater. So people started to head down there, and I was working like crazy trying to get people signed in. Some were staying for the caucus and some were just voting and taking off.
Needless to say when I finally got down to the PAC to convene the caucus I was feeling fairly frazzled. All my attempts to be organized went out the door. Thankfully I had made a copy of the program and highlighted the things that needed to be done. So I got things started.
Big surprise when we got to the point where we were suppose to elect a caucus chair, and nobody volunteered and 2-3 people said I should keep going. So I was elected caucus chair.
Things continued along by the seat of my pants some times. We reached the point where we were suppose to elect the precinct chair and 2 associate chairs. Right away people wanted me to be precinct chair, and I told them I really didn't want to be. Thankfully somebody volunteered and she was elected. Then we needed two associate chairs and needed one female and one male. One lady volunteered, but I couldn't get a guy to offer, so I volunteered to take an associate chair as well. :o
The balloting finally closed at 8 pm and we counted up how many people signed in to the caucus. We had 92 sign in. OMg.......
As for the votes, it broke down as follows...
Bernie Sanders: 60
Hillary Clinton: 30
Uncommitted: 1
And apparently one person didn't vote, that or I hate to say, one was lost. :o
Those number do match up pretty close to how the whole state of Minnesota went. Bernie was around 60% and Hillary was around 40%.

Afterwards I did have a couple of people come up to me and thank me for running things. That felt really good. And the lady that was there watching over all the DFL caucuses being held at the school said I did a great job and she was glad I ran things.

Now of course I am feeling awful thinking maybe I didn't get somebody a ballot and they didn't get to vote. :o CRAP.............
