choice of nominee by a show of hands, slips of paper in a box or even by moving to one side of the room. The last 10 presidential election results indicate that the Iowa caucuses have a 55 percent chance of determining the Republican nominee and a 77 percent chance of determining the Democratic nominee, so this certainly isn’t the final word on who the nominees will be.
