Are Caucuses Fair?

When we as independent activists call for opennes in the election process we have to look deeper into the Caucus process. I think it is a very negative process. When we complain that so many do not take part in the political process, why would a state want to reduce the opportunity for the public to vote? The only fair process is open primaries where everyone has the opportunity to go to the polls and select their choice from all the eligible candidates.

When a primary selection for the most important position, president, is selected by only a few, how can you say it is the will of the people? In some states it is the will of a few. Then there is this: when a fight judge decides the winner they take both the number and quality of the punches.

What do you think of the Caucus process?
