Did you know Washington State has a primary [1]to be held February 19th? In 1989 the Washington State legislature adopted an initiative to, apparently, not only hold a caucus but also hold a primary.

The law states:

The... presidential nominating caucus system in Washington State is unnecessarily restrictive of voter participation in that it discriminates against the elderly, the infirm, women, the disabled, evening workers, and others who are unable to attend caucuses and therefore unable to fully participate in this most important quadrennial event that occurs in our democratic system of government.

A Presidential Primary allows each Washington voter to participate in the nomination process, not just political party insiders who participate in the caucuses.

The Republican Party has elected to use all or part of the primary results to select delegates.

The Democratic Party has elected to never use the primary results to select delegates.

Odd?
