Why Tuesday is still super

Groups have formed to get a referendum on the November ballot to change Colorado’s caucus system to a primary, which would allow more than just affiliated Democrats and Republicans to participate.

Both parties will have primary, caucus and presidential preference polls on the same day on March 1.

After you vote be sure to check Republican and Democratic primary results from the Virginia Department of Elections. Democrats do however have a 15% percent viability threshold. “But they’re a great way to get involved at the grass-roots level with national impact”. It is also unlikely they will re-enter the race. Both parties elect delegates and alternate delegates from the state’s 18 congressional districts.

“The ability to say, ‘I went in and won one of the pivotal states of the general election is certainly a trophy worth having”, said Tucker Martin, a Virginia political consultant who previously worked with a super PAC backing New Jersey Gov. and former Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie.

For Republicans, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana and ME will vote on Saturday, March 5.

The state mandates by statute when caucuses must take place.

Yuma County’s Democrats will send three delegates to the state convention, and the county’s Republicans will send 16 to their state convention.

Johnson – who voted at a recreational center in suburban Columbia – is concerned about her students and the cost of higher education. Participants must be present to vote.

It is time for Yuma County’s affiliated voters to get involved in the political process.

It all begins with the precinct caucuses, Tuesday night. The day usually falls in late February or early March every four years (during an election year).

While the pressure to select a candidate may not be as intense as at the Iowa and Nevada caucuses, the art of persuasion will be on display at the caucuses as attendees promote their candidates of choice.

“There are a lot of important things that will happen with the next president regarding the economy (and) national defense – voting at the caucus is where everything starts”, said Dave Bosma, chair of the Nobles County Republican Party. And sometimes that can skew the results coming out of caucuses. See the advertisements inside this edition for the precinct caucus locations. Legalizing marijuana was a resolution several years ago, and Walter expects support of San Juan County’s decision to agree to the Superfund designation to be a resolution this year. In all, 595 Republican delegates – almost half – are up for grabs on Super Tuesday.

Any registered voter in attendance can submit a resolution, but it should be in writing. The winning Democrat would need 2,383.

According to AL.com, the big state to win on Tuesday is Texas with 252 Democratic and 155 Republican delegates up for grabs.

“His ability to say anything he wants to say and not slip in the polls is utterly fantastic”, said Fremont Mayor Bill Harrison, a former Republican who thinks Vice President Joe Biden, the convention’s keynote speaker, would have made a stronger Democratic candidate. Tex Cruz still said he can win the Republican candidacy. For instance, MA has been a reliably “blue” state, and therefore despite its larger population, there are fewer MA delegates to the Republican National Convention convention than conservative Alabama (50), which also votes on Tuesday.
