You're right.  But do you have reason to believe that the results there would have been different if the caucuses were held at a time when they were able to vote?

Couldn't they even vote, if they walked to the polling station?
Or doesn't it work like that. :)

If you're Jewish you can't write on Shabbos.  There's no such thing as "Orthodox." 

As to what you can do, we follow a steady cycle - Go to Shul, eat, sleep, wake up, go to Shul, eat, Go to Shul, eat, Go to Shul.  ;)

Pardon me for asking the most ignorant question of the thread, but does Shul mean synagogue?

Sounds like a good idea, but is "disenfranchised" a word in ebonics? To be honest, I don't think I've a schvug smart enough to know what that means. ???
