The link at the bottom of this post is a 45 minute You tube video titled Time with Uncle Sam from Sam Mortenson from Hogan Township.
Caucuses have a purpose, particularly with sudden changes in health or death. This is a good tutorial and it is a cautionary tale on preserving voter election choices versus overusing the caucus.
After his 11 minute introduction and explanation of his political and civic mindset, Sam Mortenson gets into the nuts and bolts of the local political machinery. His examples are related to recent GOP caucuses, but the process is similar for the Democrats as well. He explains how the caucus process works in selecting people to replace office holders who leave office before their term is completed.
There have been several caucuses in Dearborn County this year. Sam explains the 45 precinct committee person selection process and what happens when no one runs for that particular precinct. Precincts can then have an appointed precinct committee person that does NOT RESIDE in their precinct.You will also learn how this process can be legally manipulated to affect the balance of power in future elections.
In the video you will hear the names of some of the new individuals who signed up for the primary to run for some of these precincts. If you want a say in your county elections and state elections, look up your candidates and VOTE for a local precinct rep that lives in your precinct and reflects your political mindset.
