As of 7:45 p.m., organizers at the Waikiki caucus ran out of printed paper ballots and were scrambling to handwrite the names of the presidential candidates on scraps of paper.

It's now just past 9 p.m. and it seems the line has dissolved. People estimate that at least several thousand people turned out to Jefferson Elementary this evening.

On a scale of 1 to 10, the organizers and volunteers scored "a solid 8," said Les Among, a member of the Waikiki Neighborhood Board who helped to organize the caucus.

"At first, there was chaos when everyone saw the line, but everyone held together like a football team and pulled it off," he said.

Between the handwritten ballots and seemingly endless line of voters, many had suggestions for next time.

"When I saw the crowd, I was gonna turn around," said Yolanda Amerson, 38, of Kapahulu. "They could have lost voters right there."

Amerson suggested that the caucus could have opened for the entire day, not just during the evening.

But, "I felt so passionate about who I wanted to vote for that it was worth standing in line," she added.
