Three-Hour wait to Vote in North Virginia

6:30 PM – Today
Three-Hour Wait In D.C. Suburbs

HuffPost reader Holly Dykstra reports that it took her three hours to vote this morning in the Rosslyn neighborhood of Arlington, Va. Dykstra said she got in line at her polling place at 8 a.m. and did not vote until 11 a.m. Rosslyn is located across the Potomac River from the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington.

Dykstra's report comes after Nicholas Vucic reported a three-hour wait to vote at his polling place in the Pentagon City neighborhood of Arlington. Vucic updated HuffPost Tuesday evening and said that the line is at least two hours long as people vote after work. Pentagon City is a 10-minute drive from Rosslyn.

I am a blue voter in a red state so my vote is not worth much, but your vote is ESSENTIAL.
