While no delegates will be awarded in all three GOP contests on Tuesday -- Minnesota and Colorado are holding non-binding caucuses -- Missouri Republicans will begin the process of choosing delegates at a caucus on March 17.

Rachel Weiner explains on The Fix why Missouri gets to double-dip in the primary fun and also why the otherwise meaningless election could actually make a difference in the fight for the Republican nomination. 

What is the schedule? 

Missouri primary polls open at 7 a.m. ET and close at 8 p.m. ET. The first results there are expected around 8:30 p.m. 

There will be no exit or entrance polls for the caucuses or the primary.
