Toobin: I love #Iowa, but the caucus is an anti-democratic disgrace [View all]

Ran across this thanks to a retweet by the Hoarse Whisperer -- and FWIW, kudos to all those bravely doing their best with the Iowa caucus system, but I do wish it could be changed to a regular primary with secret ballots:





I love #Iowa, but the caucus is an anti-democratic disgrace - no secret ballot, no absentee voting, no actual vote totals, absurd 15% rule, and nutty multiple rounds. What an absurd way to pick a nominee.







If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
