One good thing, at least we won't have to listen to Trump whining about it being unfair.

I think the term he used was "Rigged". After the Hissy Fit that Mitt Romney threw............Read this and tell me it's not.................

When Max McGuire went to vote in Colorado’s Republican presidential caucus on March 1, Super Tuesday, he found the process “underwhelming.” Only 14 or 15 people showed up to his local caucus site, a science classroom at a school in his suburb south of Denver. A few of them left partway through, and it’s hard to blame them: On the day when the largest number of delegates were at stake nationwide, Republicans in Colorado wouldn’t even be voting for a presidential nominee.

Instead, says the 25 year old Mcguire, “We had to vote for a delegate, who would then vote for a delegate, who then would vote for a delegate to send to Cleveland.”

The assumption in a democracy is that one person equals one vote. The reality is Colorado’s caucus looks more like a calculus equation than simple arithmetic. This year’s convoluted caucus has left voters on both sides dissatisfied, and calling for reform. The unhappiness is particularly pressing on the Republican side, where the allocation of the states 37 delegates could play a major role in a potentially contested national convention.

“Colorado voters have virtually no say in this process,” says Ryan Call, a former Chairman of the Colorado Republican Party.

The Colorado caucus is structured so that they don’t. The caucus begins with local precinct votes, where party members vote to send delegates to a county assembly, then at the county assemblies (held throughout March), delegates are elected to the State and Congressional assemblies, where national delegates are actually elected. The system requires the caucus goer at the lowest level to vote for someone they hope to have their presidential choice in mind all the way up this chain.

“They kind of put two or three degrees of separation in between the voters and the actual delegates that will go to Cleveland,” says Mcguire. The first response to an as-clear-as-possible explanation of the mechanics of this year’s GOP Caucus by the state Republican Committee sums up the feelings of many: “I’m sorry, I still don’t understand.”

Just like the founding fathers intended. Not!
