#CaucusBlocked

This election cycle, caucuses have been receiving a ton of attention -- and for all the wrong reasons. With accusations of wrong-doing flying from supporters of Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and Donald Trump, the calls for reform continue to grow.

It should be easier, not harder, for voters to make their voices heard. However, caucuses are a time-consuming process that suppress voter turnout. Increased political participation is vital to our system, and replacing caucuses with primaries would immediately involve more voters.

Caucuses shut important groups of people out of the process. Active members of the military -- particularly those deployed around the world -- are shut out of the caucus process. For the working class, it’s often not an option to leave work for hours to caucus, especially with the costs of paying for childcare and transportation.
