I believe that the integrity of elections right here in the USA is going in the toilet.
IF IT HASN'T HAPPENED ALREADY, we will soon have presidents pre-selected, and it won't matter at all what is in the ballot boxes ---- I believe this, anyway.
Ah, Iowa. Having lived there in years past and participated in a caucus, I can tell you ours turned-out to be a slap-dash operation as I recall. It was in and out with very little in the way of any candidate’s supporters soliciting for their guy. Those of us supporting Jack Kemp (was it?) moved to one corner of the room while the others migrated to another corner as the votes were recorded by voice. There is no guarantee that those voice votes were properly managed, counted and forwarded to the State GOP Secretary. The fact that other than Republicans can vote in a Republican Caucus in my book negates the value of Iowa’s participation.
It's the first round in a caucus state. There are probably two more meetings with proportionately fewer reps.
Iowa is actually one of the last states to actually pick their delegates.
