DEMOCRATIC PROCESS

Voters must be a resident of Iowa and a registered member of the Democratic Party. You can register or switch registration at the precinct. You will not need to show ID.

During the caucus, a supporter of each candidate may give a short nominating speech. After the speeches, voting is conducted by having supporters of each candidate stand in a different corner of the room. You may also choose to stand with "uncomitted" people as a group. Supporters are then counted. Any group with less than 15% of the total participants in the caucus is declared non-viable and those supporters may choose to stand with a different group. During this choosing, members of the viable groups have an opportunity to lobby and entice the non-viable supporters to join them, typically through yelling and chants. The count is then conducted again until all groups are viable.

I just can't fathom how democracy is done by standing in corners in the year 2016, and that candidates spend millions of dollars to get people to stand in corners. The whole 'yell at your peers you you can visibly see voting' is weird as hell too, as far as 'official parts of a real goddamn election' go.

That is loving madness and also weirdly fascinating. As someone who's only casually been following any of this, this puts the whole Sanders/Clinton thing in a whole new light because I can't imagine the chaos of a two candidate race in that setting.
