I have a questing about supporters being bused in to events.

[OldRed2450]

Is it normal for campaigns to bus people in from other places and states to participate in campaign events? Do all campaigns do that?
The reason why I ask is because there are a bunch of young folks on twitter talking about how they enjoyed their bus ride into Iowa for an event. There are pictures and tweets. Some folks saying they traveled from Nebraska. Is this a normal campaign thing?

1. Answer: yes they do for certain events...

The Iowa dinner isn't "just" for Iowa voters; it's for supporters of the candidates and the Party. And bussing in large crowds shows valuable organizational skill.

2. Ok. Thank you.

I did a search and saw some campaigns talking about how they bused people in to show support at caucuses in 2016. Doesn't it crowd the Caucasus from people who have to vote in them?

3. The supporters are doing visibility and volunteering; they're assigned to different Causes sites

Back in 2008, my wife and I (from NY) were volunteers at a Caucus site in NV. We were the only out-of-Staters there.

4. I see. OK.

I didn't know it was normal

6. Out of staters can vote in caucuses ?

Being from PA and now NY I never attended a caucus.

7. No, they can help out...

When we worked in NV, my job was to corral the committed Hillary voters while my wife worked on the undecided.

5. People use buses to travel to campaign events, political events and protests all the time. n/t
