Err... did anyone else hear this?!

I was listening to a WCBS news report here in Baltimore and I heard that so many people showed up to vote that supporters of "second-tier" candidates were forced to go into a separate room in the big counties.

WTF?! Is this true?! Isn't that a violation of federal election law?

I read about a trick on here where they try to side line voters.

All I heard was that it was so busy at certain places that "supporters of second-tier candidates were forced to go to a separate room."

That should only apply to Democrats I think..

It's probably on the Democratic side, where you need everyone to stay and fight it out. On the Republican side, you just show up and vote. You don't need to publicly state who you are voting for, so they wouldn't know if you are voting for a "second tier" candidate.

Ok...thats sounds more reasonable as their system is strange..thus all the 0%.
