I don’t like the caucus idea. I much prefer a straight vote by the voters. Less chance of hanky-panky.

I agree, I'd prefer a closed primary. But to not even have a caucus effectively strips us of our ability to be heard.

We have been disenfranchised.

However, in the past North Dakota held its primary in September.

It's not about caucus vs. primary. It's about binding and not binding delegates.

Iowa Republicans seem to have figured out how to run a caucus that binds delegates.

Why can't North Dakota and Colorado figure it out?

That's fine in closed primary states, but in states like Georgia where there is no party registration, there is no way to keep non-Republicans from performing the hanky-panky.
