Fox News (which surprisingly has the best coverage in Wyoming) is reporting that in Laramie County (Cheyenne), the turnout was 2500 when 500 was expected.  Because only 1500 could fit in the room for the caucus, two caucuses had to be held.  Also, a bunch of people who arrived after 9 AM are arguing to get into the caucus, but Democratic Party officials look like their denying them entrance.

Itīs a sad day for democracy if a state canīt handle an election with 3.000 people ...

It's not that they can't - they just weren't prepared to. If you plan a party expecting 50 people to show up and then get 250 people, you're going to run out of food.

It you expect 50 people to vote in a county of 90.000, you are nuts. And no, there hasnīt been record turnout in the past 3 months ... Tongue
