Ada County Democrats had printed up 9,000 ballots for their caucus tonight, and they ran out. “They had to go to Kinko’s and make more,” said Idaho Democratic Party spokesman Chuck Oxley. Another 5,000 ballots were copied off. Some caucus-goers were held outside by the fire marshal as the arena hit capacity, but everyone’s ballots were collected. And some left after casting their first ballots, opening up space inside.
Idaho Democratic icon Bethine Church, giving the evening’s first campaign speech on behalf of Sen. Hillary Clinton, said, “This turnout shows that we are alive and well in Idaho.”
