[T]he Democrats come in and go to different corners of the room, one corner per candidate (if no octagonal rooms are available, they use two rectangular rooms), Then there is a plenary session in which a representative of each candidate makes a short pitch. These are followed by public voting. Candidates deemed not viable (i.e., getting less than 15% of the vote, are sent to the showers and their supporters get to pick a second choice. After the second round of caucuses, a final vote is taken and then delegates to county caucuses are chosen. In turn, these elect delegates to the district caucuses which elect delgates to the state caucus, which elects delegates to go to the DNC in Denver.
