How can you influence the delegates? In some cases, delegates have already been chosen by a nominating committee. What's left after that?
Do DTC members have more say than "ordinary" registered Democrats? In the voting, if enough registered Democrats show up, can they outvote the DTC members?

As I understand it, caucuses are open to all registered Democrats who are residents of the town in question.
The delegate selection process varies by DTC. Use the link above and contact your committee chair for more information.

Am I just stupid or is there no way that I as a West Havener can do anything to help? The link you provided led me nowhere.
