More than 190 thousand people voted in the early voting in NYC this weekend – Telemundo New York (47)

There were also clashes on Sunday between allegedly anti-and pro-President Trump groups in Times Square, and elsewhere in Manhattan and Brooklyn. The police reportedly arrested about seven people.

On Saturday, in some places, voters reported waiting hours. The voting line reached a quarter of a mile outside of Manhattan’s Madison Square Garden, a place that is used for the first time in history for voting instead of hosting basketball and hockey games and concerts by world-renowned artists.

There were long lines of people across the state, which has 280 fewer early voting locations than there will be on Election Day. Early voting will continue until November 1 and then will stop one day before the last voting day on November 3.

New York’s nine-day early voting period is shorter than many other states. Californians began voting 29 days before Election Day, while those in Virginia began 45 days earlier. A bill in the Assembly’s election law committee would extend New York’s early voting period to 14 days.

Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Friday that a team of lawyers and volunteers called the Election Observer Corps would be established to make sure no one interferes with the vote.

“We are going to have a strong voter protection effort because this election cannot be allowed to be stolen by intimidation,” de Blasio said.
