Your tweets are still rolling in to our #dcistvote Twitter feed, but first here’s some dispatches from the DCist staff on their polling place experiences this morning.

  • My wife and I voted at Precinct 87 (Payne Elementary) this morning on Capitol Hill. We got there a little before 9 a.m., and the line was not that long, not even outside the auditorium (not all that much longer that it has been in previous presidential elections). We heard that the line at Precinct 91 (Watkins Elementary, also on the Hill) was two blocks long outside the entrance. As we drove to work after voting we saw a line that wrapped all the way around the block (over two block lengths long, several people abreast) at Precinct 72 (Langdon Park Recreation Center, 2901 20th Street, NE). –Charles Downey
  • Voted at Powell Elementary in Ward 4, got in line around 6:45, and made it inside in about an hour. The line started near 14th and was wrapped around 13th by the time we got there. Smooth process, friendly poll workers, friendlier crowd. Everyone had a friend in line, everyone was smiling and making conversation, very cheerful, very excited to be voting. Most people were given paper ballots, but there did seem to be a touch screen machine on hand. One woman left the school and yelled to the line, “Don’t worry, it’s worth it!”

    Also notable – the number of people who brought folding chairs to wait in line, and many, many people kept turning around to take pictures of the line with their cameras and cell phones. No presidential signs, lots of signs for Kwame, Michael Brown (also had a table), and Carol Schwartz. A few signs for Sekou Biddle, someone was handing out materials for Ted Trebue (SB at large) and Muriel Bowser had people there. – Rachael Brown

  • My polling place is the Wilson School in Rosslyn. Swung by at 6:45 – the line was snaked around the building and down to the fire station. Went to the gym – same story at around 8:10. Went back at 10:26. Voted: 10:32. I love working and living in Rosslyn. –Missy Frederick
