Long lines form in Fargo to vote in Democratic presidential caucus
InforumFARGO — Hundreds of voters waited outside in the cold Tuesday, March 10, to cast ballots at the Fargo polling site for the presidential "firehouse caucus" hosted by North Dakota’s Democratic-NPL Party.
The queue to enter the AFL-CIO building, 3002 1st Ave. N. in Fargo, snaked across a large parking lot and onto First Avenue North. The longer-than-expected lines prompted party organizers to consider opening a second polling site here, but instead decided to send more resources to the existing site to expedite voting, according to Alex Rohr, a state Democratic Party spokesman.
Parking spaces were difficult to find outside the AFL-CIO building, the Fargo area's only polling site for Democratic voters. There are a total of 14 polling sites across the state open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday. Democratic voters with concerns or questions can call 701-255-0460 for information. Poll results may not be available until early Wednesday, March 4, Rohr said.
Asked about the high turnout at the Fargo polling site, Rohr said: "More people cast their ballots in the first three hours today than in the 2016 caucus. Fargo is especially high. We've seen an exciting number of new voters and many people who need help looking up their voting districts, which adds some time to processing. When we saw long lines, we activated additional volunteers, staff, and equipment. Everyone who is in line when the polls close will have a chance to vote."
