Here's an e-mail California delegate candidates (who survived the purge at least) received from CDP Chair Art Torres: 

"As we approach this weekend's Congressional District Caucuses, the final list of those who will be on the ballot in each CD is now posted at www.cadem.org/finalapplicants. Per the National Delegate Selection Rules, each campaign reviewed  the applications and returned to the California Democratic Party the approved list of District delegate applicants.

Caucuses to elect the delegates will take place everywhere in the state at 3:00 p.m., with sign-in and voting starting at 2:00 p.m.

The California Democratic Party has put up a widget on our website where you can point your supporters to go and pre-register for the caucuses. All you have to do is go to www.cadem.org and look on the right-hand side -- then just fill in the blanks and follow the prompts. Although pre-registration is not required, you can cut down the long lines and help out the campaign volunteers who are staging these events by taking this simple step ahead of time. The deadline for pre-registration is Thursday, April 10th at 5:00 p.m.

There's more...

Why is the press too lazy to correctly report that all state contests are being held within the Delegate Selection Rules? Each state has "unpledged" delegates as part of that plan. (the so called Super Delegates) awarded across the nation by the same rules; and as well each state is conducting contests in all kinds of different but fair ways of allocating "pledged" delegates so that they reflect proportional support of those citizens who align themselves with the Democratic Party for the various candidates for President on the Democratic Party ticket. These slots are pro-rated by National Rules to represent the Democratic voters of past elections. After (rarely before) the allocation process, there is a separate election of the actual individuals who will attend the National (nominating) Convention in Denver in late summer. Bottom line, the candidate that picks up the most pledged delegates from a state won that state. Total popular vote numbers are meaningless since each state varies in how it does the allocation, by caucus or primary, or in the case of Texas both. In all cases they are proportional and fair.
