Reader Poll

Should the triumphal arch include an elevator? The administration says yes. A reader asks whether it goes all the way to the top.

"Elevator, obviously. America is old now." 61%
"Stairs, but with benches. That's compromise." 24%
"I mainly want to know what's up there." 15%

Poll results reflect the views of 311 readers, one structural engineer who has stopped answering email, and a groundskeeper who keeps asking whether the eternal flame is rated for s'mores.

"An election is one building, one Tuesday, and a printer older than everyone in the room. Washington has decided the room needs a plan. The room has decided Washington needs a manual for the printer. We are both correct."

— Barb Kettleman, Definitely Real precinct poll worker for 22 years, has never attended a meeting in the capital, keeps the backup printer unplugged "so it rests," and considers cake a bargaining chip
