Hundreds of people gathered in Black Lives Matter Plaza for the second night in a row as the region and the rest of the country awaits the results of the presidential election.

The evening was quieter than Tuesday, when crowds converged on Black Lives Matter Plaza and nearby McPherson Square to watch election results. Demonstrations on both nights remained largely conflict-free, aside from a few clashes with police and four arrests on Tuesday.

Protesters who want President Trump out of office danced to music and created art near the White House on Wednesday. They held signs that declared “Trump is a danger to us all” and “Count the votes.”
