Caucuses and delegates [View all]

So, according to state law, we need to have a caucus, but if we do, our delegates are not counted in the nominating process.

The state law is unlikely to change and this year's caucus won't be a big ordeal, since Biden will be the only real candidate.

In 24, the same may be true, with Biden as an incumbent, but how do you feel about Iowa being entirely cut out of the process (by our state's delegates not counting at all) because of a state law we can't change?

Oh, and I hate, hate, hate caucus. I would love to have a primary where my entire job is to go and vote....but that's not what we have and not what we are likely to have any time soon.
