After all these months, it’s time to Caucus. Both parties will gather at precinct locations around the state beginning at 7:00 tonight.

Republicans will take a straw poll. Although two challengers spent the past several days in Iowa, G-O-P officials expect President Trump to win easily.

On the Democratic side, there will be three sets of results released. One will be the raw vote total at the start — something like the popular vote in a presidential election. Another will be the number of delegates each candidate has won toward the Iowa Democratic Party’s state convention. This is sort of like the Electoral College — so it’s a statewide show of strength. Iowa Democrats will declare the Caucus winner based on that tally. The third set of numbers will also be raw votes — representing how many people were standing for each candidate at the end of the night.  Iowa Democratic Party officials will release ALL THREE sets of numbers at the same time — once all precincts have reported their results. We’ll have coverage for you throughout the evening, along with Bobcat Basketball on 1230 KFJB.
