Election Day in Tribeca-FiDi: Wait Times, Broken Scanners, Crazy People and More
There were a handful of problems across lower Manhattan with long lines and broken scanners.
TRIBECA, NY — Polling news was quiet in the sparsely populated Financial District, though there were some long lines to vote in Tribeca on Tuesday morning.
But no one seemed to mind having a bit of a wait on this beautiful Election Day.
