I also think a problem is that local elections aren't well publicized. I consider myself pretty well informed on what is going on, but there have been times where suddenly there is an election on a certain day that I had no idea was going to happen. I don't live in a "big" city, like L.A., Dallas, Nashville, Chicago, etc. My news does come from a big city. To be well informed here, you really need to go to the meetings. They are held at 5pm on Wed. here. Not everyone can do that. It's a problem.
@Carrie3570 I couldn't agree more...some of that is for practical reasons, but all too often the scheduling of meetings is intentionally done to prevent too many people from participating.
I've been down this delegate road at the district level. I applaud your efforts, the system is rigged.
