Student Caucusers

Because the Democratic Party’s Iowa Caucus website breaks down results in absurd amounts of detail (and is updated literally by the minute), I’m going to track the voting around four small liberal arts colleges (I don’t do the big ones because they’re in big cities and it’s impossible to figure out which precincts actually contain the schools). I don’t pretend that this information has any specific use — I don’t know what percentage of caucusers are students in these areas, and even if I did I’m not sure what the implications of their vote would be. But it’s interesting nonetheless.
