They can’t even tell you the truth about what happens at the caucus. You don’t just show up and write down “Trump”. You start with signing in and making sure everything is in order. This can take a bit, especially if you need to register. You sit together with your friends and neighbors in a room, have an opening prayer, pledge of allegiance, announcements and initial business, then listen through all the representatives for each candidates. This will take 30 minutes at a minimum. Probably about an hour. Then you vote on a piece of paper and hand it in.

That’s most of it. But then we elect precinct delegates to represent us in the county caucus convention.

The county then elects a representative for the state convention.

The Dems have the old process. Takes a long time. Electioneering, etc.

The GOP process has been streamlined-— basically—you go in and vote. New for 2016. Results available almost in realtime due to new reporting software.

And the new phone app by Microsoft to intercept the phone calls and tabulate the results.

There used to be no "electronic" ballot influence in the caucus process.
