Perhaps I missed it in an earlier post, but the chief advantage for me in having separate city caucuses is that it allows our very, very mobile and transient popualtion more of a voice in the process. When I was a young, single mother living in this city, we moved every 1-2 years.
I think there is a misunderstanding of the rules here. Moving does NOT prevent you from being seated and voting at DFL conventions, in nearly all cases!
As long as your new address is still within the city of Minneapolis, you are still eligible to participate in the Convention in your new District, and the City Convention. Delegates who move become an alternate in their new district, and can be seated at a convention and vote. Last time, of 137 city precincts, I think there were only 4 that completely filled their delegate slots. So there is plenty of opportunity to participate, no matter how often you move!
