Meanwhile, True Blue NY, a grassroots coalition of more than 45 partner groups in nine districts, expressed concern about the “widespread voting problems including extremely long wait times, malfunctioning scanners, and other avoidable issues” across the state.
In a statement, the group said, “It is unacceptable that the people of New York must pass through an obstacle course in order to participate in our democracy.”
Additionally, True Blue NY is encouraging voters to “stay in line until their ballots are scanned and securely deposited in emergency ballot box.” The group is also urging the Board of Elections to extend the voting hours.
