achines go out to Chenango County’s poll sites today, tomorrow and through Monday in preparation for the elections next Tuesday.

Board of Elections commissioners Harriet Jenkins and Carol Franklin say they are both well prepared and very thankful to have missed the devastation of Superstorm Sandy. Jenkins said voting may take place in tents in some areas of New York City and Nassau County, and Franklin said she anticipated a low voter turnout from the hardest-hit areas up and down the Eastern Seaboard.

“We are so thankful that we have nothing to worry about here,” said Jenkins.

“I think this whole weather things is going to have a big impact. If I were in the situation these people are in, voting would be the last thing on my mind,” said Franklin.
