New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg Tuesday urged residents in areas ravaged by Sandy to get out: A Nor'easter is headed up the coast and low-lying areas may flood again. That will hamper efforts to restore power to more than 900,000 homes and businesses in the northeast. The death toll rose Tuesday at 121 in nine states. But Sandy could not wipe out Election Day.
Nothing would stop Nelly Moreno from voting. Four feet of water swept through her neighborhood last week.
Did she ever felt that this was not the year for her to vote? "No. On the contrary, it motivated me to come out," she said.
Volunteers scrubbed all weekend to get the polls ready. Around 800 polling places were without power in New Jersey Saturday. On Tuesday, it's fewer than a hundred.
A mobile voting precinct delivered mail-in-ballots along the Jersey shore. In Staten Island, some votes were cast by flashlight.
