14. Probably. Poor people, old people, and working class folks couldn't take off twice in one day.
My 80 year old grandmother in law couldn't stand for hours to caucus and neither could her friends. My partner couldn't take off from work to return for caucusing after already having taken off to vote. Voting twice is the dumbest most disenfranchising load of BS I've ever encountered. It benefited young people living in urban areas close to their polling stations. Rural people. the sick, working people, and the elderly are at a disadvantage. College students, city folks, and healthy wealthy folks run a plus.
