Get rid of caucus system

I went to my first-ever caucus meeting last Tuesday. I had high hopes about getting involved and seeing how things work. I was sorely disillusioned about this process. I left my caucus dismayed and disgusted. We were asked to vote for delegates that we don't know, nor do we know their views on the candidates. When I asked if the delegates would ask their precinct members who to vote for, I was shocked to learn that's not how it works. The delegates get to choose on their own who they think is the best candidate. I cannot believe this is how we choose who is going to be on the ballot. The caucus system is not representative of its citizens. Other states don't use them — why do we? It's time to get rid of caucuses and use a system that involves and represents everyone.
