I do not think I said primaries and caucuses are elections. But, the Iowa caucus process has been described as an electoral event in which delegates are elected. (I hate referencing wikipedia but it is quick and easy)

The Iowa primary was brought up because if voter fraud is a concern surely a big darn deal electoral event in which delegates are elected, in the process to nominate a presidential candidate, should require photo ID.

Who woulda thunk the actual presidential election was not happening in Iowa in a few days. Time flies!

I don't think I said otherwise. I was responding to PiKA2001who was responding to you. PiKA2001 did say it was a "state level election."

LOL. Your response to my post about it being convenient was like you were trying to take away from the more interesting point.
