2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: 3 million + [View all]Peacetrain
(22,870 posts)23. Yep.. in the republican caucus in IA they do a straw poll
vote.. but on the Democratic side.. we stand and are counted.. and in order to be viable you have to have at least 15% of the people there.. so we are counted individually to gt that percentage.. If you don't have 15% you have to disband.. you can join another group.. or leave..and then by the number of individual in your group they figure out how many county delegates the nominee gets.. they spit it at my caucus..

Well so much for unity for the general. The hubris and arrogance will be the downfall

An inaccurate accounting as they don't add in caucus states, but you knew that.
