Very long line to vote at Banneker Pool in Washington, D.C. -- 2500 Georgia Ave NW. Near Howard University so a ton of same day registrations. Just hit my hour mark!

There are only two election officials here helping w/voter registration. Bless em -- one even has his arm in a sling! But the consequence of this is that they are registering about five people every fifteen minutes. And this line is easily a hundred people. 18 ahead of me now

Hour two of waiting has begun. Energy levels good Fatigue levels good The two Howard U students behind me have stopped the dancing they've been doing for the last 90 minutes though. Was definitely drawing strength from that
