Just 24 hours after many D.C.-area residents waited in long lines to votes, they were at it again. When copies of the Washington Post sold out by 11 a.m., the paper printed a special edition and released it at 3 p.m. At 4:15, lines at the Post headquarters (next door to AAUW) stretched around the block, and we went out to capture the action.
I did get a copy of the commemorative issue, thanks to Claudia and Chandra. The entire public policy staff was out there, too.

The line in front of the building...
...down the block...
...and around the corner.
My sister in NYC said the NY Times were selling like crazy too and that now they’re being sold places like ebay for up to $700!!
