I don't remember this from Civics...
Jan. 10th, 2008 05:18 pmCaucus vs. Primary. Help me out.
From what I was able to find, the difference seems to be that with a Caucus you'll probably get milk and cookies before you vote. Or something. California's always been a Primary state (from what I can remember) and there've been no milk and cookies.
(However, my voting place is at a Fire Station this year, WHICH INTERESTS ME GREATLY. To, um, see the spotted dog. Yes. The spotted dog. Absentee ballot? Pffft. Yeah, right.)
Also, didn't California have an open Primary the last time around? I've got Nonpartisan status (Eeek! I'm a wildcard! You don't know what I might do!) and I don't remember having to ask for a party ballot last time. Kinda funny, but the only options available to me this go-round are the American Independent Party and the Democratic Party. So I guess I can't go McCain-wild or anything.
HA! An honest-to-God candidate for the American Independent Party is "Mad Max Riekse." Wonder if Mad Max would give me milk and cookies if I voted for him. Or her...
