Here's a handy video to try and help explain how a caucus works-in this case the Iowa caucus. Watch the video and compare it to what you know about the way in which primaries work. Which system of selecting a candidate is more representative of the people? Why do you think so? Does it makes sense that certain states have primaries (open/closed/blanket), whereas others have caucuses? Is there a better way of selecting presidential candidates?
