Early in the morning on Election Day, we found one voter having issues with an identification mix-up. We connected the voter with the Board of Elections, ANC Commissioner David Garber and Charles Allen, the chief of staff to Councilmember Tommy Wells, who all stepped in to assist.

Voters complained that poll stations did not have an adequate number of e-voting machines. At certain locations, the paper ballot line moved faster than the e-voting line.
-
RT @FrozenTropics: Today’s lesson is to vote by paper ballot. Everyone is complaing of 1 e-voting machine per precint. #HillVote2012

Apparently, Capitol Hill is also filled with residents ending in last names P-Z. If you were one of those people, you may have waited a bit extra on Tuesday morning.
-
Things I learned at my voting location: CapHill has an inordinate amount of last names that start w P-Z. #vote #hillvote2012
-
After seeing how many ppl are skipping lines to get to A-D or S-Z I will now only marry a man with that letter last name! #hillvote2012
-
Despite long lines and cold temperatures, many outlasted the wait to vote this morning. Polls in Washington, D.C. remain open until 8 p.m. Tuesday.

It may have taken 2 hrs but… #ivoted #hillvote2012 http://instagr.am/p/RsXHa1v7Qs/

Took me 2 and a half hours to vote at Stuart-Hobson. The bake sale and the sticker at the end made it worth my while. #hillvote2012

Hard to say private voting is happening when it’s this crowded. Some elderly people voting at cafeteria tables in the open. #hillvote2012

Local politicians and pets were also spotted on Election Day.
