Something I probably won't present to the state Rules Committee in 2012

You may not have been aware of this, but III.F.1 of the WSDCC's 2008 Delegate Selection Plan reads as follows:

Alternates shall be listed and seated in the order in which they were elected,
and must be of the same presidential preference, and, to the extent possible,
of the same gender and from the same electing jurisdiction as the delegate being
replaced.

This rule applies at all levels of caucus starting with the LD caucus, where the (bottom-level) precinct delegates go to elect the (2nd-level) delegates to the CD caucus and state convention.

Now, the interesting thing about this is that, unlike at the higher levels, where male and female delegates/alternates are strictly segregated (i.e., you get so many delegates of each gender for a given jurisdiction and there are are likewise separate alternate lists for each gender), the delegation from the precinct caucus to the LD caucus is co-ed; and for each precinct for each candidate there's likewise just a single ordered list of alternates where the M-F pattern can be anything.

( ...they'll probably just cut me up and put me in a recycle bin under the Washington State Convention Center )
