22. Your story is a good reason for WA state to abandon the caucus system.
It's too unorganized of a process. Straight voting is messy too, but pressuring people to pressure others within the space of an hour is just too "fraught with the possibility of mishap" and just plain peer pressure. The latter is never something you want in a truly democratic process.

Having said that, it is a great experience to see democracy in action before your very eyes during a caucus, and not just on a T.V. screen ticker.
