Voters lined up for hours to cast ballots in presidential primaries across the U.S. on Tuesday, even amid curfews imposed for protests over George Floyd's killing.
Zoom in: D.C. and Philadelphia's mayors exempted voters from curfews as long as they got into line to vote by 8 p.m. In D.C., some waited in line for four hours near McKinley Technology High School and were still out well past the city's 7 p.m. curfew. Others outside Washington's Hardy Middle School were still in line after 9 p.m.
- Voters were lined up outside the Ida B. Wells Middle School in D.C. near midnight.
People are still in line to vote in D.C., almost four hours after the polls were scheduled to close (and almost five hours after curfew) https://t.co/IZSaFLlWK8
