GRAYSON COUNTY, Tex. -- Voters turned out in droves in Grayson County on Tuesday, causing overflow at polling places. Democrats lined up outside, wrapping around buildings to participate in the Texas Caucuses.

Some residents say they had to write on their ballots outside because there was no room indoors. The police were called to some locations to keep the peace.

Party leaders say when they chose caucus locations in December, they had no idea Texas would be such a crucial primary in the election race.

These party leaders need to be more considerate when choosing locations. Denison's west end fire station was so crowded the crews could not even stay at there station! The fire station is like these guys home every third day, and how would you like it if people you didn't know came into your house before sunup and did not leave till after 10pm when you didn't want them there or ask them over in the first place? And seriously poles close at 7 why did the parties need to inconvenience these puplic servents till 10 or later? Leave in a timely manner so these guys can get some much needed rest. Also the parking lot was so crowded the fire dept could not have gotten the fire engine out of the west end station in a reasonable amount of time even if there had been a fire. If my house which is close to this station had burned or I would have needed an ambulance, I would be really mad at these "party leaders" Next time choose a convenient place, parkside church would be my suggestion, convenient
