9. The parties set the caucus rules
"The Secretary of State plays a limited role in the caucus process. A caucus is governed by rules established by a political party. The Secretary of State’s office will provide both parties with the official registration file for the allocation of delegates, assist both of the parties in ensuring that any applicable federal and state election laws are enforced, and insure that all eligible voters who qualify pursuant to the respective political party rules have the ability to participate."

Lots of people have to work during caucuses. The at-large precincts were to accommodate large organizations of 4,000 workers or more and the delegates appear to have been organized according to state law. I can't imagine the Secy of State allowing an illegal election to move forward.
