Reply #26: I think the biggest issue is state funding [View All]

[4themind]

There are some pretty big capital costs to running a primary vs. a caucus, that may be easier for states with larger taxpayer bases to pay for than e smaller states (even with smaller populations) so my understanding was that it was a concession made to these states, to encourage their participation in the democratic party, without mandating or taking on costs that may be seen either as unreasonable or prohibitive. So if you want them to do one style vs. another either convince them to pay for it, find a way to pay for it, or bar them from playing any role in selecting the nominee, I guess what is picked will depend upon what they value.
