the lapse we found did not create a security risk. >> if you got an f, you're in a world of hurt. >> reporter: the very in, day they made changes and -- very next day they made changes and scored an a. all the agencies made changes after our investigation. virginia and maryland have now both improved to a minuses. i'm investigative reporter russ ptacek, wusa9. >> russ tells us you can use the same test that we used on voter registration sites to test the securities of any website before you buy something online or even do banking. we've got a link to that on our wusa9 mobile app, pretty cool. we know they can drive you crazy, speed cameras, with revenue reportedly down in d.c., there's a whole new wave of those cameras going into place. as of today, six brand-new speed cameras are up and running in d.c. plus two new stop sign cameras. these new speed cameras are installed on maryland avenue northeast, park place northwest, lincoln road northeast, two along fourth street northeast and 12th street northeast.

this earlier. air mass is so dry it's generally clear to partly cloudy, winds negligible. i lowered temperatures overnight. headlines, terrific election day, really spectacular. next front will be wednesday night, still warm and dry wednesday. there will be more clouds, however, and then wet wednesday night and thursday, a yellow alert thursday for rain and showers that could affect both commutes thursday. 6 a.m. tomorrow everybody is in the 40s, but i think these temps are high. we'll see some mid- to upper 30s especially in gaithersburg and leesburg and manassas. you'll be in the upper 30s early. by 8:00 back in the upper 40s to around 50 downtown. by lunchtime maybe you want to grab a bite and go to the polls, upper 60s, almost 70 in culpeper, fredericksburg. that's pretty nice. our average high is now down to 62. by 4:00 still mild, 68 downtown, mid- to upper 60s in the suburbs, 70 in fredericksburg, a few clouds rolling through tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night,

not going to produce any rain. by 8:00 we're still at 62 downtown, 50s in the burbs. just high cloud around, still in the 50s in the suburbs tomorrow night and 60 downtown at 10:00. that's pretty mild for this time of year. it stays in the 50s through the 11 p.m. hour. overnight clear to partly cloudy, chilly. we lowered them, 35 to 45 and then for morning mostly sunny and pleasant, 35 to 65. so it will be a rapid warm-up, but a chilly start, light jacket probably a good idea. by afternoon partly cloudy, breezy and warmer, southwest winds driving temperatures up to around 70, really a perfect election day, really the best day of the week. next three days, nice for election day, 70, and then 69, more clouds wednesday, some showers wednesday night, but the day will be fine well after rush hour, temperatures near 70, clouds keep temps down a bit. rain and showers thursday and temperatures around 60.

players and brass to evaluate their team. they squandered a chance to make it three wins in a row and now need to regroup. they did get their franchise qb back, but gruden hasn't had a chance to see what he can do. griffin has yet to play an entire season. instead they've endured another quarterback carousel. today coach gruden was asked to assess that deposition so far and -- that position so far and it wasn't easy. >> you give him all the reps in training camp and he hurts his ankle. we get a good look at kirk and colt and now it's back to robert, but we feel good about robert's process so far. >> sunday's loss means a 3-6 start for the skins for the fourth straight season, but despite many fans losing hope, the players are not. gruden is realistic when it comes to his team's performance
