Description

Packed Polling Place - Voters jammed polling places in Fort Worth and Tarrant County Tuesday, as evidenced by these photos taken at Precinct 117, Bluebonnet School. Crowds of voters here were so great they had to be moved to permit children to enter school. A block-long line awaited officials when the voting started at 7 a.m. At 11:30 a. m., 1200 of the precinct's 3180 voters had cast their ballots.
