All the major candidates for the Republican presidential nomination are campaigning in Iowa as they appeal to supporters to turn out for the caucuses despite the frigid weather.

The former president has set sky-high expectations for his own performance in the first contest of the race for the Republican presidential nomination. He spent the day before the caucuses trying to ensure he meets them. His main GOP rivals all spent Sunday in Iowa as well, making last-minute appeals to Iowans open to hearing them.

At a rally in Indianola, Trump said his supporters could fight back against his political enemies, claiming that the four indictments he faces were driven by politics and renewing his false claims about the 2020 election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.

Many in the crowd wore white and gold caps identifying them as Trump caucus captains who will help round up support for him Monday night.

    We need an IQ requirement to vote.

      I feel like the historical connotations make that difficult.

      If there were ever to be some form of this, maybe a humanitarian and empathy focused measurement instead?

        Create a list of basic questions and answers which are factually correct and easily available for people to review/memorise in advance. As a part of the voting process the voter is asked 10 out of 100 of those questions, they need to get at least 7 out of ten for the vote to be valid. Multiple choice questions like “Reducing taxes likely means… Reducing spending or increasing debt”.
