Slight Change in Iowa Caucus Rules


December 28th, 2007

A story from the Huffington Post notes a slight rule change for Caucus night in Iowa. Typically the doors close at 7:00PM with no exceptions. However on Caucus night anyone who shows up at the right time but the wrong precinct can be given a note that will let them into the right precinct even if they are late.

No offense to Iowa, whom I have continually bashed on this blog for running things in a less than straightforward manner, but if someone cannot find the right precinct I think it is OK to disqualify them. Remember you do hold these things every two years regardless of whether there is a presidential campaign.

In short, good news for the Obama campaign which is hoping out-of-state students will show.
