3. It's a caucus.

But it's the first caucus to ever allow early voting (as far as I know). The rules are not clear to everyone.

They were planning to use the party's caucus app, but the Iowa debacle forced them to quickly change course. What we're seeing now is angst over their hastily-assembled Plan B voting and reporting system. As I understand it, the state party bought new laptops with a browser that was pre-set with a link to Google Forms. Caucus staffers are still panicked due to lack of training, new caucus rules, and lack of "notice" of rule changes from the state party. This seems likely to be a mess.

If I were to vote in a presidential
