But voter information was not compromised, D.C. Board of Elections says.

Across D.C. and the suburbs, voters today are encountering very long lines as the arrive at their polling places, with some declaring that today’s queues are the longest they’ve ever encountered.

The lines to vote in Dupont Circle stretched full city blocks. Voters got some last-minute campaigning from the candidates, and even some handouts from a church.

At 5:30 this morning, Jethro Smith arrived at the Reeves Center, ready to work. Smith, a Board of Elections and Ethics technical clerk, was fully prepared to meet the crowds ready to vote in this year’s general election at Precinct 141, which is tucked away inside ground floor of the Center. Smith had put in a six-hour shift at the precinct yesterday, preparing equipment and setting up for registration, and he was ready to put in at least fifteen hours of today. Such long hours are necessary — the Board has repeatedly promised that the general election would be a better voting experience for citizens than September’s Democratic primary, and such promises take a lot of elbow grease to fulfill.
