For my Advanced Topics homework this week, I attended the DFL caucus at the middle school on the night of Super Tuesday. As has been stated by countless others, the evening was one of “DFL Caucus Madness.” I arrived at quarter to 7 and barely found a parking space at the far end of the bus park. Luckily I found a group of high school friends on the way in and we pretty much hung out together for the rest of the night. Jordan, Claire, Megan and I all live out east, outside of town, which means we all belong to Northfield Township. Overnight none of us knew that important piece of information as none of us had ever attended a caucus before. Once we decided which room to go to, we slipped into one of the many classrooms used for the event. Clogged is certainly the right word, and soon people began to pour into the corridor. So, with quite a bit of back and forth chatter, Northfield Township voters went to the commons area where we all signed and cast our votes on scratch-off pieces of paper. We tried to stay and participate in the election of district presidents and delegates, but there was just too much noise and we were very confused about what we were supposed to do. There were rumors of a larger debate at 8pm in the auditorium, so we left our township caucus and set out to figure out what was going on. We eventually learned that the huge crowd had caused the debate to be cancelled, so we left for home after a busy, confusing but rewarding evening at the DFL caucus..
