If, like me, you were wondering if people were, um, more civic minded on election day, yesterday’s Capitol Hill police scanner items don’t necessarily make a great case. No word on number of arrests made in the area last night with all the fun and frolic. I’ll update once I get a chance to talk to somebody from SPD about it unless some other news outlet (get on it Jonah Spangenthal Lee) gets to it first..
