How does caucas differ from primary?
A primary is where the general population goes out and votes like in a normal, general election All the votes are tallied and counted like normal. In a caucus, the people are divided into groups, where they must decide the candidate in a majority or unaminously. Then, these groups, or caucuses, are tallied and the candidate with the most caucus votes wins; I think. I don't know if they win the whole state, I don't know how a caucus compares to an amount of primary votes, and I don't know how the groups are divided. I believe it to be a useful system for information spreading (considering the people have to actually meet together and decide a candidate), but I don't think it is fairest. One person could be forced into or influenced to lean to another candidate by pressure from their peers. That's all I have. I am not an expert, so you might want to keep searching.
