[Tell It Right]

Doesn't Iowa have a rule that says they'll caucus at an earlier date if any state moves their primary up?

And how important are these first-state-to-primary anyway in a day of early voting and mail-in voting? At least in the Dim run states that still do those fraudulent things.

I believe the national GOP still allows Iowa to go first.

In Iowa, the caucuses and primary are run by the parties and not by the state.

Dems have already switched to mail-in primary over many weeks, mostly removing any Iowa influence on Dems.

GOP now has a kind of modified binding primary that requires showing up at caucus meetings to vote. Delegates are bound to support caucus vote-winner. (Used to be the caucus vote was a non-binding straw poll treated casually.)
