The irony here is that the Australian secret ballot was introduced in ~1890 in part to drive turnout DOWN. (Because a secret ballot meant those not literate in English or any language wouldn't try to read the ballot.)

How about that! The unintended consequences of reform--the secret ballot almost certainly broadened participation eventually.

This process is nothing close to "democratic". Also, Iowa's demographic breakdown looks nothing like the Democratic base who will be needed in the General Election. I have no idea why they are first or why we put so much weight on their decision.

It doesn't look like the Democratic base in California, or New York, true, but it does look sort of like other Midwestern swing states (Iowa is also a swing state) which the Democrats need to win.

ALL caucuses should be shutdown. It doesn't represent the voters.

I tend to agree. N.B.: Being cautious here because I'm only now starting to learn about how caucuses actually work.

On March 3rd there will be primaries in multiple single counties and not just in California, that blow past Iowa's entire turnout.

. This process is fatally flawed. NO ONE should have to expose their preference. Not to their their state, their town, their neighbors or their family. .

Iowa & all caucuses must go. Not Democratic. No secret ballot. Coercion used to change vote. IA and NH not representative of our country. Too much much emphasis on low turnout & unrepresentative of our country. Way past time to eliminate caucuses

Closed primaries are just bad as caucuses are. Theres no way to fix the primary process, because they are necessitated by First Past the Post elections, which are the central cause of problems. We need to eliminate primaries & this style of voting, and replace with Ranked Choice.
