Reply #9: Bullocks...have you ever actually been in a caucus? [View All]

You gather in a room with others. Each candidate has a designated area where their supporters gather.

Everyone is given a chance to speak about their candidate.

There is a Q/A session afterword.

People then go to where they want to stand in their preferred candidate's section.

A head count is made.

Candidates with less than 20% then have to decide to go to another candidate, usually their second choice.

The head count is then counted and the winner is recognized. Based on how many people are at the caucus, points are added to the tally, which finally is added and the election results are made.

It's tinfoil hattery to think that some "behind-the-scenes powerbrokers" manipulate the caucus. It's a very people-powered process.
