Sandy and Election Day

Did Hurricane Sandy have any impact on the election? It didn’t seem like it, even at the polling places in coastal Greenwich, one of the hardest hit areas. Power was on to the schools, and a steady stream of cars flowed in and out of parking lots.

At Riverside School, moderator Gayle DePoli said that the storm didn’t seem to affect the turnout, or the stable of volunteers manning the polls.

“Some of us still don’t have power in our houses, but we still came,” DePoli said.
