2020 DC primary election results

This year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the D.C. Board of Election encouraged everyone to request a mail ballot to vote, but some polls were still available Tuesday for people who preferred to vote in person.

Those who voted on-site also had to deal with a curfew put in place due to widespread protests over the killing of George Floyd under Minneapolis police custody last week.

Voters and poll workers were exempt from D.C.’s curfew that went into effect at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Videos on social media showed voters lined up Tuesday night outside polling places waiting to vote.

Early Wednesday, the Associated Press announced former Vice President Joe Biden won the D.C. Democratic presidential primary.

National Museum of the American Latino to be housed in historic Smithsonian building

The Smithsonian Institution has decided to put the National Museum of the American Latino into an existing, historic building, rather than constructing a new one. The Smithsonian Board of Regents on Monday designated the Arts and Industries Building, a 145-year-old redbrick Victorian structure located between the Smithsonian Castle and the Hirshhorn Museum, as the permanent site of the National Museum of the American Latino, which Congress authorized in 2020. In 2022, the Smithsonian narrowed its survey for permanent locations for the National Museum of the American Latino and the American Women's History Museum to four locations near the National Mall on land owned by the National Park Service. The Arts and Industries Building, located at 900 Jefferson St. SW, was one of the four sites. New construction on National Park Service land would require congressional approval. However, since the Smithsonian already owns the Arts and Industries Building, the institution can place the National Museum of the American Latino in the existing building without additional legislation.
