re: #171 Buckeye Nation

The picture in question appears to show a heavily crowded area on the west side of the Capitol to 4th Street, which was the cordoned off area for the rally. There are no crowds on the center of the Mall, but the walks on either side are filled, but that would be normal for a nice weekend on the mall as people moved from one SI museum to another. There appears to be no significant number of people on Pennsylvania Avenue from the picture.

As has been stated earlier, the west side of the Capitol would have a packed capacity of about 250k people, certainly not 850k.
