They’re psyched to vote in Yonkers
Some 50 voters were waiting when poll watchers opened the Runyon Heights Community House at 6 a.m., election inspector Felicia Ash said. “When I opened the doors I could not believe how many people were standing there,” Ash said.
About a mile north, at the Homefield House polling place, the story was similar, even if lines were a little shorter. Election inspector Wanda Taylor said about 20 poeple had lined by the time the polls opened at 6 a.m.
About 90 minutes later 188 people had voted in the Runyon Heights election district that Ash was supervising, which is one of several housed at the community house. By 11:45 a.m. the figure at that one distruct had climbed to 330, more than the district sometimes sees by the end of Election Day other years, Ash said.
