In just the five Minneapolis precincts in SD63, we had approximately
800 people turn out for precinct caucuses. Luckily, our largest is
traditionally large, so we had the auditorium for its 281 attendees.
Many of our precincts multiplied their attendance ten-fold. We ended
up signing in on legal pads when we ran out of sign-in sheets. Given
what we perceived as utter chaos, I was incredibly pleased to hear so
many new attendees raving about their experience. Nobody thought it
was bad to be lost in a sea of people--they were excited to be involved
in the process. Some caucuses stayed to debate resolutions until 9:30
p.m. This is how Minnesota democracy should be!
