Demographics matter. Republican Registered voters in Iowa. The numbers matter. There was no huge victory in Iowa tonight. Study the numbers. Trump had the votes of 51% of the Republican Caucus Voters in Iowa. The numbers:

https://sos.iowa.gov/elections/pdf/VRStatsArchive/2024/CongJan24.pdf Total number of Active Republican voters, 594,533, and the total number of Inactive Republican voters, 157,716. Grand Total: 752,249. The total Caucus votes cast in 2024 were, 109,405 at 99% of the vote counted. Voter turnout was 14.54%. (“14% of registered Republicans voted.”) Trump's votes were 51% of the caucus vote or 7.48% of the Grand Total of registered Republicans. Trumps votes were 2.5% of all eligible Iowa voters, 2,203,718. Grand total in pdf file. Trump “won” Iowa with 2.5% of Iowa voters in a closed caucus. A tiny radical minority “won” with 2.5%:

A very small, meaningless victory. The 2024 Iowa Results page on CNN, the numbers of caucus votes and voters:

https://www.cnn.com/election/2024/primaries-and-caucuses/results/iowa/republican-presidential-primary

7.48%: Trump “won” 20 of 40 delegate seats in the Republican Convention. 1240 needed to win. Twenty seats won by single issue voters. 2020 Election deniers. A tiny radical minority. 7.48% of registered R voters in Iowa voted for Trump. A small victory, nowhere near to a majority in public opinion.

“He [Trump] is the one voters want,” said CNN talking heads. Are they kidding? 56,260 Iowa Caucus goers indicate what “Voters Want”? CNN talking heads said this constantly (hundreds of times) during their coverage of the Iowa Caucuses. They constantly gave Trump validity for days and weeks thereafter. “A huge victory.” Trump is actually a huge bad joke. A New York mafia thug. CNN talking heads supported him, unknowingly. Are they that naive? Yes, it seems. Iowa has 2,203,718 eligible voters. 56,260/2,203,718 = 2.5%. Trump “won” a place on the Presidential ballot in Iowa and over two million voters in Iowa had no voice in that decision. Closed Party Caucuses or Primary Elections guarantee low voter turnout in all those closed low access voting systems. They are closed, fixed, by the two parties. Voters know?

Vote By Mail: Mail all Iowa voters a ballot in all caucuses. Then the Republican and Democratic candidates would need votes from the majority of all voters. Final Five Open Primaries and RCV General Elections would give every voter a solid vote in every election for every public office. All public offices.

Vote by mail could help establish majority consensus on public policy in areas of contention. Such as abortion, guns, separation of church and state, the right to vote, and the rule of law. Universal suffrage would help to reunite America. The violent influence of White Supremacy (Nazis) and Christian Nationalism would be shown in true diminished perspective. Everybody Vote! Fix democracy.

Hey CNN! That is the rest of the story. Who, what, where, when, why and How? The whole truth. Wake up journalists. Unite America. Give all eligible voters a voice in every election. We can have a real functioning representative government on all levels. Closed caucuses and closed primary elections are anti-democratic. There is no equality under the law under two-party election rules. We need Proactive Voter Government. Open Primary Elections. A ballot on every election for every voter. No more tiny minority “victories” in our elections.

Democrats had no Caucus to give voters a voice to nominate someone other than an elderly Incumbent President. On the Democratic side there was no choice provided by the incumbent party. That is a huge mistake. Ask any salesmen. Give the customer a choice. 87% of Democrats and the general public think and know Joe Biden is just too old to be a reliable President at his age. His health could fail at any moment. The Presidency is the most important job in the country. We cannot depend on Biden for a second full term. Trump is too old too. In addition, Trump is mentally unfit for public office in a constitutional democracy. No one wants a Biden-Trump election. Thump is a con artist prone to senseless violence. A liar. Joe is just too old. Donald is too old for the Presidency and unfit for any public office.

Demand a voice in all elections. Become a proactive voter. Unite America. Everybody Vote. “We must become proactive good citizens.” We must prevent a second Trump Presidency. That is the first 2024 goal. I hope there is a good choice on the Democratic ballot in KY. We must defeat Trump in my very red state, Kentucky. A real challenge. I hope you can defeat Trump in your state. Trump will end our liberty and freedom. He will be a tyrant. Help defeat him.

We must take power from (and within) the D and R parties to have open elections so all voters have a vote in all elections. Elect pro-democracy candidates voters put on the ballot to defeat establishment D and R candidates. Fire the old, incapable farts. Occupy Elections. Everybody Vote! “We must become proactive good citizens to have a voice in public policy.” Sign the Pledge    Print/Share
