Dear Woodbridge Residents,

Election Day is perhaps the greatest expression of our democracy. I would like to thank each and every person that made it to the polls on Tuesday to cast their vote. As many of you know firsthand, there were excessively long lines at several Woodbridge voting locations. As I went from precinct to precinct, I was amazed and uplifted by the positive, patient, and determined citizens waiting in line, as well as the hardworking and empathetic Election Day volunteers. It was remarkable and inspiring. Thank you.

WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Woodbridge’s elected leader Frank Principi is unhappy that some of the last votes cast in his district were at 10:45 p.m. Tuesday night.

Long lines and wait times of up to five hours at Potomac Middle School in the River Oaks Precinct, with only a handful polling machines processing about 30 voters per has now prompted a local town hall meeting, and a call from Democrats to investigate what went wrong.
