150 in line to vote at Carver Academy; 90-minute wait reported

By Mike Anderson | Tuesday, March 4, 2008, 06:38 PM

From Trib reporter David Doerr:

At 6:40 p.m., 150 people are in line to vote at the Carver Academy, with 20 minutes left in polling.

The Precinct 12 voting station has the largest cache of delegates in the city, 59, and historically has the largest turnout. As of 5:30 p.m., 447 people had voted there.

People are still joining the line, the parking lot is overflowing and people are parking in streets. One person who just voted described waiting to vote for 90 minutes.

The wait could delay the caucus meeting, which is supposed to start at 7:15 p.m., but it will not start until all have voted.
