First day of early voting draws big crowd in DC
WASHINGTON — The line of voters stretched one and a half blocks, and some people waited an hour in order to be among the first in the District to cast a vote in the general election.
Early voting began Saturday in D.C. at a single polling place, One Judiciary Square Northwest, where voters from all eight wards could vote.
“I think this election cycle has been one of the craziest I have ever seen so I wanted to get out here and make sure my vote counts,” said Farrah Saint-Surin.
Mayor Muriel Bowser said the display of voter enthusiasm was fantastic. “I think people may be feeling like I was feeling. Bowser said. “After this long presidential process, after these debates, I wanted to vote the first chance I got.”
