In states that have caucuses it can be fairly tough for people working full-time jobs to attend them. I don't think that represents a large share of the popular vote, but it is a barrier to participation that requires more than holding one's nose to overcome.

That's just an excuse. There is early voting and most, if not all states, legally mandate that a company give time off to employees to go vote.

Many caucuses disallow early voting and require a physical presence.
