ME: The Iowa caucus process is complicated. There are separate systems for each party. For the Republicans, most voters write their candidate's name. Some do a hand count, but others get a printed ballot. Also, the caucus doesn't directly select the delegates that go to Republican National Convention. There are, I think, three additional levels of delegate selection before the RNC. Iowa is the first in the nation to have elections, but they are one of the last to choose delegates.

DAD: With a system that complicated, no wonder. They need the time.
