I was talking to someone today after church who is pretty knowledgable on current events and he said that we have caucases, super delegates and electorial college because we are not a true democracy. We are actually a representative form of government. In a democracy, popular vote rules.

In our state, at least in the past, may be different now that we have touch screen voting machines, when we had the mechanical kind, we walked in the door with our undeclaired registration card. Republicans were on one side of the room and democrats on the other. You went to the table of your choice to check in. They checked the roll to find your name and you signed on the line, then they stamped your voter's registration card with the appropriate rubber stamp, showing that you voted in either the republican or democratic primary. Then you stepped to one of the machines marked democrat or republican depending on which side of the room you are on. That's how republicans can cross over. They just step to the democratic table and go from there.
