This evening, I and 22 others attended the local Republican precinct caucus. I'm told there are 800 registered Republicans in the precinct, making ours the fourth most Republican precinct in Utah. (The town I live in has only 4000 people but four Republican precincts. It's actually a friendly place for Democrats - we know both of them by their first name.)
Despite our 3% caucus turnout, our precinct is allotted five county and three state Republican convention delegates because nearly 80% of the precinct Republicans vote on Election Day.
In Utah, however, Election Day is the wrong day to make a difference. In the most Republican state in the union, the State Republican convention in May and the Republican primary in June usually determine the final slate of State officers.
Super delegates indeed.
