Just got back from “caucusing” in MN. Never done it before. We stood outside in line for almost an hour! And it’s a balmy 15 degrees here!

At least there were two nice ladies in the very long line to talk to. One of them said last year the parking lot wasn’t even full. Tonight, all lots were full plus people parking up and down the road and in nearby lots.

We got in finally, and went into a small room where some people were sitting and listening to a guy talk about becoming a delegate.

“Voting” consisted of checking your choice of candidate on a very small square piece of paper and handing it to a lady sitting there. Rather anticlimactic.

Voting has to be done between 7:00 and 8:00 here. Not sure how on earth they could get all the people in to vote in time. We were in the front half of the line and just barely made it in time.

Trying to warm up now with some hot chocolate. Froze our toes off out there!
