. . . "So how do the GOP caucuses work?
"The GOP process is the simpler one.
"Caucus meetings begin with the Pledge of Allegiance and then activists get straight to the main event -- selecting their presidential candidates in a binding vote.
"Each campaign gets the chance to have a representative make a final pitch to any wavering voters before a secret ballot. Some caucus sites might use a printed ballot paper. Others just go with a candidate's name on a scrap of paper.
"Raw totals of votes are tallied by local party officials and sent to Iowa GOP headquarters, where a running count is kept.
"And the Democratic ones?
"The Democratic caucus system is a little more intricate.
"As soon as the meetings open, attendees must declare a preference for a candidate." . . .
