Long Lines at the Polls — It’s Election Day, and thousands of D.C. residents lined up across the city to vote early this morning. At Logan Circle’s Garrison Elementary, one reader reported spotting about 200 people. The line to vote at Banneker was a block long around 7:45 a.m. today, ANC 1B commissioner Brian Footer said.
