Albany Times Union says Greenburgh "set the bar for early voting"

We did everything we could to make the experience easier for those waiting on line Today - short lines at polling places

Albany Times Union says Greenburgh "set the bar for early voting". 10:15 a.m. Westchester County town set the bar for early voting
The Weschester County town of Greenburgh, which straddles Route 287 along the eastern side of the Hudson River, had food trucks, flu shots and separate (faster) lines for elderly and disabled voters during early voting. The town also offered a live-stream camera feed that enabled voters to check the lines (usually more than three hours) before heading to that early polling site. The camera feed remained active on Election Day but the lines have vanished.

"The people really loved it," town Supervisor Paul Feiner said. "I got almost no complaints about waiting on lines. It was really a very nice experience."
