There Will Be RESONANCE: 2016 Iowa Caucus Gameday Thread - Page 11 - Politics and Economics

You can vote if you'll be 18 by election. Any age kid can come tho as spectators are welcome (they just can't talk to voters during caucus, assuming there's an exemption for kids.

They made the 10-17 year olds go to the kiddie table, under that stay with parents.

what if one of them raises there hand to vote or otherwise finds their way into the pool of non-kids?

The vote total wouldn't equal number of voters. It's not a ballot, you vote with your body. Where you're standing is who you vote for so it'd be obvious who was the culprit.

She is doing a head count with people numbering 1 to 10 then starting over and she will keep track of the tens on her hand.

First table had old people who messed it up.

This lady is awful.

ok twitter feed. lol carson

CNN reported that he's heading to Florida no matter what the results tonight, and will not be around for New Hampshire. AFAIK that's the basis for the "Carson throwing in towel" tweets.

I'll take it. A one point win for Trump is more palatable if Rubio comes in second. And let's Burn the Bern nonsense.

Early entrance polls are showing much better numbers for Clinton/Rubio than anticipated given the high turnout.

hes using advanced strategy. he knows that he can only say things that will lose votes so he is making sure he doesnt have the opportunity to do so.

cruz 3rd would be fun, just embarrass that little bastard. and rubio 2nd gives us the sick race we all kinda want. sort of like when i wanted denver though after they were going to beat the steelers. oh boy brady manning! but it was sour grapes and then they beat the pats.
