Long Beach residents vote in Massapequa

At Massapequa High School, where classes were in session to make up for time lost in the storm’s immediate aftermath, one optical scanner was down, though poll workers said they had called it in and the Nassau County Board of Elections would be by later to pick up the ballots.

About 1,000 voters had already been through the gym as of 1:30 p.m., some of them displaced Long Beach residents, poll workers said.

A poll worker who declined to be identified said many people were voting by affidavit and though she could not estimate how many, she said the number was, “More than ever before.”
