POLLS OPEN: Queens voters cast their ballot on Election Day via QNS
As of 10 a.m., approximately 100 voters cast their ballots at the Sebastian Parish Center, located at 39-60 57th St., in Woodside.
According to the poll site workers, there haven’t been any issues with the ballots and voters are aware of the four proposals on the back of the ballot. “I take the subway to work and it’s ridiculous now with the attacks that are happening,” he said. “Also, people ask for money — they have raised their price now asking for $5, can you believe it?”“I came out today because women should have a right to an abortion,” Lubey said. “It’s also keeping a Democratic governor in our state, and I voted for the cost of living proposal on the back of the ballot.”According to Lubey, the overall goal is to staunchly oppose the Republican agenda.
Meanwhile, at P.S. 146 in Howard Beach, more than 200 ballots had been cast by 9 a.m., with a steady stream of voters coming in. One poll worker told QNS that there were people waiting in line before the site opened.Melissa Casper, 41, brought her 7-year-old son and said her No. 1 priority was showing him what voting was about.
Astoria resident, Catherine Prunella, said she was thinking about the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade as she cast her ballot. She voted for Kathy Hochul for governor, not because she feels passionately about her as a candidate, but because she was unhappy with Lee Zeldin’s messaging surrounding abortion rights.
A volunteer at the P.S. 171 Peter G. Van Alst polling place, Olga Larino, said she was also very concerned about crime in New York, and that she voted for Hochul. “I think this is a very important election, especially for governor,” said Assemblyman Edward Braunstein, who is up for re-election. “The governor is the top position in the state. I feel over the past few days, I’ve noticed more enthusiasm for the Democratic nominees. As far as myself and other nominees [for other positions] like Robert Zimmerman, we’ve run strong campaigns, talking about the issues that voters care about and I’m confident about our prospects.
