The Line at My Arlington Precinct at 7:30 am


The line went about 50 yards up the sidewalk, into the building, and snaking around inside. I estimate there were about 250 people in front of me. The polls in VA opened at 6am. I was hearing from people in line that the line was worse at 6am on the dot. I waited in line for an hour and 15 minutes and when I walked out, the line was significantly shorter. Everyone was in good spirits and I heard some voting rights representatives from the ACLU and the DNC say that they were having a quiet and uneventful morning so far.
