Here’s a copy of the email that I sent out to everyone in our studio which is relevant to all but one person (Kristi who is now a resident of San Francisco–CA is part of today’s Super Tuesday).  Take part in your political process everybody!:

To clear up some of the very understandable confusion, here’s some information: 

Both the Democratic and Republican parties in Washington State are relying on caucuses to determine how many delegates will represent each candidate.  If you’re a Democrat (or planning on voting Democrat), your vote in the primary will NOT count towards the # of delegates.  If you’re voting Republican you can go to the caucus AND vote in the primary.   

If politics matter to you, please make sure to take part in the caucus this week Saturday (2/9) at 1pm. 

• Read about caucuses here:
