56. Well, that's in part due to how caucuses operate, it's a much bigger scale of disenfranchisement.
Caucuses are at a certain time and place. Captains can control the whole process and willy nilly kick people out that they don't want there: "where's your voter registration?" for one person and letting it slide for the other. I posted a video on DU about this exactly happening, a caucus captain was allowing people in without being registered, not even asking if they were registered.

Doors are locked at a certain time, and people who arrive late or who have to work or just who are tired can't make it. This is all very beneficial to Obama's group.
