Description: "Each caucus is a little bit different. The rules are actually set by the caucus participants." |
The individual caucus as well as the majority of the participants there will decide whether delegates are bound or unbound and whether delegates are voted on as a slate or individually.
Missouri's Secretary of State Robin Carnahan could not estimate what the voter turnout would be.
