ALBANY — Hurricane Sandy could knock out power through Election Day in parts of New York state — but Gov. Cuomo says not to worry.
“In the event that places are still without power on Election Day, we will have the resources in place to ensure that voting happens without delay and without interruption,” Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi said yesterday.
New York replaced lever voting machines with electronic devices two years ago, becoming the last state to make the switch. Cuomo’s pledge came after his emergency-services czar, Jerome Hauer, said there could be power outages through next Tuesday.
