Caucuses disenfranchise many groups, we need to get rid of them

My state chooses primary candidates on super Tuesday, unfortunately it is a caucus, which means I cannot participate. I feel this is unfair to me and people like me who are not able to stand for a long time, and have health issues. I vote religiously, but cannot handle the physical exertion of a caucus. If the elections don’t require people to undergo physical tests why should the primary?

I am not on disability, I work full time, however cannot participate in the physical challenges of a caucus. When can we get rid of them?

Well this is my first diary, saw this and had to post

On Halloween a GA cop came across a horrific car crash - two people killed. When he went to their address he found four kids

a 13-year-old Freddy Krueger, 10-year-old daughter of a Dracula, 8-year-old wizard and a 6-year-old that appeared to be a firefighting ninja turtle,"

He realized there were no adults at home, and the parents who went out to buy more facepaint were the victims in the accident. The nearest relative was 8 hours away.

He did not want to ruin Halloween for them, and took it upon himself to organize a party at the station house, took them to eat, and let them sleep in the station house instead of CPS, until their grandma could arrive in the morning. Then set up a go fund me page when he realized the parents bodies should be buried in FLA where the grandma was moving the kids to, so they could visit their parents grave.

This is an example of spectacular service. PS if it matters the kids were black, he didn't seem to care
