"In Providence, Iowans participate in caucus via satellite from Brown University" (Comments by Wendy J. Schiller)
Chair and Professor of Politcal Science Wendy J. Schiller recently commented on the impetus for a caucus, saying "people connect with each other in person to deliberate about their choice." Schiller also questioned whether speaking through technological means is the same as having an in-person conversation, and "if not, why not just hold a primary instead where Iowans who are out of town can vote absentee?"
