Lines long at southeast Fort Worth polling places

Polling places in southeast Fort Worth and Forest Hill were doing brisk business in the Democratic primary.

At the Forest Hill Community Center, 6800 Forest Hill Drive, it was so busy that people were having to wait for parking spaces. At the Democratic polling place, a line had formed to register at the desk and to place ballots in the machines.

By 8:15 a.m., two voters had cast ballots there in the Republican primary.

At the Griffin subcourthouse on Miller Avenue, 35-40 people were waiting when workers opened the polling place at 7 a.m., and at the Fort Worth Public Library on East Berry, the parking lot was full of cars of voters casting ballots.
