I’m pretty sure this shows the voter apathy. Caucuses have been in place in these states for years and the people know their votes are straw votes. They could show up for a few extra hours if it was important to them. They voted to put this democratic system in place.
An eductated voter would trade his time in for “voting” in the straw poll and go vote in their local caucus.

By labeling the average primary voter as “apathetic” and “ignorant” of the “real process”, this is just your way of justifying what is really a very undemocratic underhanded way of getting an extreme viewpoint of a fringe minority onto the stage of a major political party.
