在纽约州和新泽西州,当地官员和选民携手努力,战胜了超级风暴“桑迪”给选举投票造成的种种障碍。
图为一位选民在11月6日走向大西洋高地应急服务大楼(Atlantic Highlands Emergency Services Building)去投票。大西洋高地是新泽西州(New Jersey)的一个城镇,超级风暴“桑迪”(Superstorm Sandy)来袭时导致该城镇停电,被迫将所有选区都集中在同一个地点投票。
在一些电力不足的地区,选民们打着手电填写了纸质选票。

In some power-starved locations, voters filled out paper ballots illuminated by flashlights.
Election Day turnout was reportedly heavy in many storm-ravaged areas in New York and New Jersey, where many voters expressed relief and joy at being able to vote at all.
