Huge Turnout for Democratic Caucuses in Downtown Lakewood

The Democratic caucuses brought out huge crowds in downtown Lakewood last night for the contest between candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Organizers said that, although they were expecting large crowds, actual turnout was four times what had been predicted. Parking was non existent, and long lines formed as people waited to get in.

Owing to the crowds, the process took over three hours. Caucus-goers gathered in the gymnasium at Alameda Junior/Senior High School. Speeches were kept to a minimum, and runners guided voters to the individual classrooms where their precincts organized.

Official results haven't been posted, but my impression from asking around was that Bernie Sanders won roughly two thirds of the delegates in most precincts, with Hillary Clinton picking up the remainder.
