Wait hold up. Am I seeing this right? Only around 100k people voted in the primary? That feels… incredibly low. I would assume that’s even higher than most GOP primaries in the state, but this one has had unparalleled attention. I would have expected at least double that

It’s not a primary, it’s a caucus and the process is very different.
If you check the Megapost, it’s got numbers from 2020 and 2016, it’s fairly consistent.
Ah! I see. It doesn’t seem to be nearly as accessible as a state ran election
It really isn’t. There are movements to end caucuses, but too many people hold on to it “because it’s tradition!”
It was almost a foregone conclusion Trump was going to win. If you supported him, there was almost no need for you to show up and vote.
Plus it’s below zero in Iowa. I would have stayed home too.
Cold, but not too uncommon in the Upper Midwest this time of year. Anyone who has lived there a while or is from there is used to it.
