Iowa is a Caucus Reg, all. It is not a straight up or down vote of one voter for one candidate like NH will be. There's a portion of the process where people change sides.

I would encourage all to scroll down to the "PROCESS" section for a clearer understanding of the nuances that make Iowa marketedly different from other one citizen one vote Primaries:
