St. Charles Co. Caucus Is Likely to be Rescheduled

The Republican caucus in St. Charles County is likely to be rescheduled after a weekend fracas forced the caucus to be shut down.

The caucus in St. Peters on Saturday ended when tension flared between members of the crowd and the local Republican activists who were running it. St. Charles County was to have been among the biggest prizes in Missouri. The meeting adjourned without awarding delegates.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that when the caucus will be rescheduled is unclear, but St. Charles County Republicans are working to salvage their role in the presidential nominee selection process.
