(5,648 posts)... of precinct caucuses, county caucuses, district caucuses, and the state convention is burdensome and unnecessary since it produces the exact same result as the precinct caucus votes for the candidates. If so, I agree.
Here a thought - why not let the precinct caucus votes determine the delegates to the National Conventions.
Or better yet, why doesn't Iowa let every registered voter cast his/her vote like they do in real democracies instead of using an archaic system which was probably originally designed to give political insiders better control of the results. (Note, I didn't say it was being use that way today, but I suppose that the potential still exists.)
By the way, my article was based in large part on literature from Iowa sources. The opinions in the article are mine - you are free to disagree with them if you wish - but it is very accurate on the facts. If you disagree, please point which facts you disagree with and provide authoritative sources that indicate I am wrong. Sorry, your opinion as an Iowa caucus attendee is not an authoritative source.
