59. the primary system is also flawed, but not as fundamentally as a caucus
being harassed before going to a polling place where you cast a ballot in secret is not the same as having the partisans in the same room looking at who you are voting for.

You can always tell someone you are voting for their guy to get them off your back and then secretly support who you really want to. In a caucus, you cannot do that, because they see who you vote for.

there are things wrong with voting in an election, and we should try to fix it as best as possible.

Please tell me where I am way off base in my understanding of caucuses.

Is it impossible for ANYONE to feel uncomfortable with publicly voting?
