I'd replace the regular deck and televise it. Imagine it, the sponsors, the lights, the STADIUMS! A Pokemon tournament to decide the winner of the primary!

...hey, at least it'd be entertaining. "Who will Bernie lead with? Pikachu is a good choice, but Squirtle is looking like a strong contender!"

I kid you not, Esther the Wonder Pig is reforming me.

She was a basic commercial pig. Her "dads" decided to raise her anyway, moved houses to a farm and started a farm sanctuary called "Happily Ever Esther..." The love they have for this very large pig warms my heart.

She posts on Facebook every day, and I absolutely adore her. When I think of what her life would have been like on a commercial farm and what probably happened to her litter mates, it brings me to tears. Bacon and ham were the first things to go in my fridge.

and kudos to her family, and to you for following your heart!!

hard to believe caucuses haven't been challenged in court under the ADA....

The whole caucus process is a sham.

Do you know how easy it is to fix those results? Even a mediocre magician or card handler can produce just about any card they want from standard deck of cards.

i don't doubt they will try anything, but how does one get the desired card in a shuffled deck?

i admit i am terribly ignorant of most things cards....

And watch what happens.

Don't get too upset about those ties.

Ties happen in caucuses. It's not that big of a deal.

I know it's easy to make fun of coin tosses (Iowa) or drawing cards (NV) but you have to have some way of settling ties.

These things happen, and no one ever notices when the races aren't tight.

But because we've got very tight races, everything is analyzed.

It's not cheating. It's just how it is.

I do agree that it is unusual. I also agree that a different system is most likely better! But it's not totally terrible.
