Unlike a traditional primary, in which voters cast ballots, caucuses all take place out in the open: People show up to their precinct and physically move into designated parts of a room to show their preference for a certain candidate. Delegates are awarded based on those who reach a certain threshold of support by the end of the night.
The winner of the caucuses is decided by state delegate equivalents, tied to a math formula, not head counts. Coin flips, or"games of chance," are used in rare circumstances at precinct caucuses to adjudicate ties or resolve issues created by rounding errors.
