A Presidential Caucus is not just going in and casting a ballot for whomever, it means you are concerned, not only about a particular candidate, but the issues and party-building. You try to convey to your neighbor why you have decided your candidate is right for our country.  Caucuses begin with supporters of candidates clustered in corners/rooms in schools, libraries, courthouses or kitchens and living rooms. There is also space  designated for voters that are uncommitted. What’s most important is that you go to a caucus and speak your mind, relate your ideas about your candidate, and learn more why others support someone else.  To learn HERE.
