And what, exactly, is more Iowan than caucusing? Remember, attending a caucus is not like voting in a primary — you don’t just cast a ballot and leave. Supporters say the process is democracy in action: neighbors debating neighbors, not in Facebook comments or Twitter wars. Those kinds of obstacles are part of the reason less than half of the 600,000 registered Democrats in the state generally participate. More than 1,700 people have signed up to participate at a satellite caucus location, according to the state party.
