Large numbers of people have come out to vote early in the city’s mainland borough. But will the large distances between early-voting sites keep some voters away?
Long lines over the weekend did not stop thousands from coming out this week to vote, El Diario reports.
At least it was on Tuesday afternoon, when there were long lines moving fast at several polling sites, and virtually no waiting times at others.
On Tuesday, New Yorkers will hit the polls to cast ballots in a number of races: for public advocate, for district attorneys in three boroughs, in one City Council race and for a number of judicial posts. There are also proposed charter changes.
