Officials along the storm-battered coasts of New Jersey, New York and Connecticut are working to identify alternate polling places for the Nov. 6 election to replace those without power or damaged by Hurricane Sandy.
Electrical outages and flooding of beachfront communities in New Jersey made it difficult to contact municipal clerks to coordinate plans for the election four days away, officials said. Police in Nassau County outside New York City inspected 52 polling places that election officials couldn’t reach by phone.
