The Nevada Casino Voting Decision

The papers report that the courts have decided that Democratic caucuses could be held in Nevada casinos, as had been planned to encourage participation by workers in the areas of those casinos. The Teacher's unions had filed suit to prevent the use of those locals. It seems that that union, which has endorsed Clinton, thought the caucuses in the casinos might bring out more Obama supporters than folk who shared the teacher preferences.

Caucuses are supposed to tell us all what the preference of the majority really is. I do not appreciate politicians seeking to undercut participation to favor their own candidates! Shame on the teachers! JAD
