Our Sudip Mukherjee brings us the latest from poll worker Sindy Tam at PS 160 in Borough Park. Tam, who has been working as a Chinese interperator for the past 10 years at PS 185, said that not many people came out to vote.
“I don’t think a lot of people knew about the election,” Tam said. “There were no signs, nothing on TV and I didn’t receive anything in the mail.”
There were only 29 voters at 2:30 p.m. Of the people who showed up most voted early in the morning and were predominately Chinese or Jewish women.
“My friends didn’t even know there was an election today,” Tam said. “I had to tell them.”
