A look back at the masses

With the benefit of additional reporting, I’d like to revisit observations I made earlier tonight.

A Democratic caucus chairman told me after voting that he encouraged his members to show up as early as 6 p.m. to begin voter registration. He said this is probably why so many Democrats packed the school before the first Republicans showed up.

By the end of the night, there appeared to be more than 1,000 people gathered to vote in the school (I could not nail down an exact number). There were four rooms of voting Iowans — two Republican precincts and two Democrat precincts.

Half or more than half of these people were Democrats, organizers said.
