The presidential race rolls into Minnesota with precinct caucuses on March 1. And there's an easy way to find out where to go, regardless of your political preference.
Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon launched a caucus finder tool on his Web site Thursday to help voters find Republican or Democratic caucuses near them. Some minor parties are also holding events, though not in as many places (and the locations are available through those parties).
Unlike traditional elections or primaries, where voters can fit the voting into their daily routine, caucuses statewide all begin at 7 p.m.
And while the caucuses will give partisans a chance to debate issues that matter to them most, the main attraction will be preference polls in the presidential nominating contests. For the first time, it will be more than a beauty contest on the GOP side because the results will factor into national convention delegate allocation.
Minnesota isn't the only state holding votes that day, which is known in political circles as Super Tuesday.
