What's the difference between The Florida Primary and The Nevada Caucuses if any ?...is it just semantics ?
States are voting from Jan to June
By the time Apr-Jun gets here it has already been decided, leading to a low vote turnout in those states.
A primary is actual voting.
A caucus is always a lower turnout.
People meet at designated sites and have to listen to speeches from supporters of each candidate.
A long drawn out process, which most voters pass on.
Then they have secret meetings amongst themselves to decide where to put their support.
Only a few states have them.
