As of noon Monday, Connecticut Secretary of State Denise Merrill said that utility companies in her state have reported that electricity has been restored to all but two of 773 voting precincts in the state.
Gov. Cuomo signed an order allowing any voter to vote at any polling place on Tuesday – and in New Jersey, it's possible to vote via email or fax. NBC's Ron Allen reports.
Her Web site posted the two voting place changes:
· Bridgeport’s Longfellow School polling place has been relocated to Aquaculture School, 60 St. Stephens Road, Bridgeport.
· New London’s Ocean Beach polling place has been relocated to Harbor School, 432 Montauk, Ave, New London.

Displaced New Jersey voters also have until 5 p.m. ET on Election Day to fax or e-mail a request for a mail ballot to their county clerk.
More information is available at the New Jersey Division of Elections website, on voting by fax or e-mail. The voter must transmit the ballot to the county board of elections no later than 8 p.m. ET on Election Day.
Some counties in New Jersey have posted changes in voting locations or have alerted voters about the status of voting locations in their area.
Here are a few:
· Union County: County officials have posted an announcement that “almost all polling places are expected to be open on Election Day, Tuesday November 6. An updated list will be available later today.”
· Ocean County: The county has posted a list of changes in voting locations here.
· Atlantic County: The elections board has posted a list of changes in voting locations here.
· Monmouth County: The county has posted a list of locations here.
The county also says: “Provisions have been made for residents in two of the most severely storm-ravaged boroughs to vote in neighboring communities. Sea Bright residents will vote at the Fair Haven Fire House on 645 River Road in Fair Haven. Loch Arbour residents will be voting at the Allenhurst Fire House on 311 Hume Street in Allenhurst. All other residents will vote in their own community.”

In New York, as of Monday morning, some counties were still in the process of finding new voting locations but had not yet posted them on their Web sites.
Suburban Nassau County, which was hit especially hard by last week’s storm surge and flooding, has posted a list of the voting locations that have been moved or consolidated, here.
In addition, Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed an executive order on Monday that will allow displaced voters from one of the federally-declared disaster counties, such as Nassau, who may temporarily be in a county other than where they live to vote by affidavit ballot.
The affidavit ballot will be sent to the board of elections where the voter is registered. According to Cuomo’s press office, these votes by affidavit ballot will count for the office of president and United States senator “and for any other candidate and ballot initiative that appears on the official ballot where the voter is registered.”

Maggie such a feisty woman. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
New Orleans is kicking Philly's A$$.
Obama has started class warfares......just not right! He is not a good President......time for a change. Romney/Ryan 2012!
Obama loses big time it won't even be close...evenCBS is starting to bring up more info not released before that shows a coverup about Libya...people are sick of his lying ...now the newspapers in the swing states have committed to Romney..I realize that you liberals are going to get hysterical because you obviously don't like the facts...but your guy is done....and it's about time.
Somebody tell me how a punk President can ignore a 5-Million dollar bet that would enhance any silly group he consuls! Why, Mr. President, are you so willing to hide your documentation? Why not just put it out there, and take 5-millon to apply toward your favorite cause.
No, Mr. Obama. You cannot prove your ligitemacy as an American Citizen, so you run from these chalenges. Obama is not an American Citizen if he refuses to provide simple documents. Let's check the Constitution and see if he should even be allowed to run (once) or again!
Barry could give the 5 Millon to his favorite Mosque. There are no strings.

According to whom? You? I would steadfastly refuse to provide documents to you, and I assure you I am an American citizen ( you'll have to take my word on this ). You simply have no basis for asking for them. This, coupled with the likelihood that you'd never be satisfied, make for a supremely ignorable combination.
My only question...
Who is the New Jersy Mob voting for?
Whoever they're voting for they can throw this election as they fabricate the power outages in line with polling stations.
Having lived in a strong Italian Mob town growing up the mob doesn't care who wins this election but is very interested in what party would be willing to slide a few million their way to throw the numbers on this election..
Tomorrow - western states - do not be affected by whatever is released from the east, south and midwest or any news channel - keep voting. California, Alaska, Hawaii, Washington-all western state residents - keep right on voting until the voting place closes-every vote counts.
Nice editing....the perfect BS youtube video ever...Romney/Ryan 2012 !!
Keith from Wisconsin - Harry Reid, a democrat, is also a Mormon Bishop. Paul Ryan from your state is a Catholic, Pelosi and the Kennedys, democrats are Catholic, Richard Nixon was a Quaker - all faiths are represented among candidates. Do not let faith or lack of faith be your only reason for selecting or not selecting a candidate.
This video reminder of what a bastard this thing called Mittens is!
Consider this posting as a public service to real America!

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Obama/Biden will win on Nov 6, 2012! No doubt!! ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
It's already been proven that much of this video is edited with much of it totally left out..... consider the real "source"......nice try with your BS proof again.....Romney/Ryan 2012 !!!
By whom? Show me the proof, or-- forever hold your peace! DESPERATION!
Excuses? DESPERATION! crickets... crickets... crickets...!
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Obama/Biden win today! No doubt!! ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
This video tells America that Mittens is the type to steal the wooden nickels off his dead mother's eyelids, and would sell them-- so Bain Capital can make a dime!
"Mittens is a character, because he has no character! Unfit for all America!"
Romney Cheating At Debate
Obama/Biden will win on Nov 6, 2012! No doubt! 4'mo'fo'#44 & a cup o' Joe!! Forward!
I do not know Wisconsin, Iowa, or Ohio. In Nevada and California - double digit unemployment for over 2 years. A person gets $443 food stamps, $248 cash allowance, section 8 housing or a shelter, free bus pass, and used clothes & shoes. Last year - prayed for the return of the NFL & NBA - this year - the NHL strikes. Concession, hotel, cleaning, cabbies, restaurants-it is all about jobs in Nevada and many other places. 66 weeks of unemployment & get 2 part time jobs and the earned income credit will pay the fine for no health insurance. People cannot wait another 4 years for change. Romney/Ryan for this voter.
Hang in there east coast! We are in Kansas and can relate to things getting wiped out!
Days will pass, and another day is just around the corner .. . life will get better!
Vote for Obama, the man that has been on the job!
obamass playing golf and vacations, that's were obamass has been.
Mittens lies to his sorry Stepford-wife, and has a secret bank account she knows nothing about! Typical of Mittens and his dishonesty to his wife! Mittens also lies to his 5 sons. He lies to all Americans, while being so obsessed with accumulating unseen and hidden wealth, that he does not care who he has to step on the accumulate even more wealth!
It's a very big reason he refuses to pay all his due income-taxes to the Americam government!
After his election lost on Tuesday, Mittens will continue with his secret plan to "misplace" all the unspent campaign funds into his overseas, and offshore accounts, as he's been planning to do, all along!
The 3 previously posted videos are conclusive proof of this thing called Mittens Romney cheating on all Americans! A dishonest bastard! It's who and what he is!
Mittens will not win in New Jersey or any of the hurricane damaged states!
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Obama/Biden win on Nov 6, 2012! No doubt!! ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
AT=TB ....what are you smoking? If you think for one minute that the President of the US can set gas prices then I guess that you know the only way he can do that is if we are under Martial Law and in that cased there will be little if any gas that is reserved for civilian use. Gas prices are controlled by the price of oil that is set on the World Market and is based on supply, reserves and demand. Gas prices at the pump are largely determined by the refineries cost of producing gas along with the addition of large Federal Taxes on each gallon that you pump into your tank..........drop in price has NOTHING to do with Obummer but you blindly believe that somehow it does.......Idiot !!!!!
mylanta4u, you're suspended for a day for violating #1 of the Code of Honor.
metrohome4 banned, comment spammer, rereg of multiple accounter Can't Wait Til 2012.
The choice is clear, Do you want a businessman who has generated billions, or a jackass, who has WASTED TRILLIONS.
HA HA....that's a good one Metro......Romney/Ryan 2012 !!!!
Yes very simple choice. Do you want a man who has made billions chopping up american companies. Shipping american jobs overseas to make a few more dollars. And then not even paying the taxes on the money he made. Or a man who is working on getting america great again.
Every undecided voter think carefully about what Obama is really about. His ideology of fundamentally transforming America has been at work for the past 4 years and failed as shown by the state of our country now.
Obviously the unemployment, economy and national debt and deficit has gotten worse since he took office and he can't defend this except to blame everything and everyone but himself. Blaming Bush usually is the theme even though he's been in charge for 4 years.
His will never admit to his broken promises and failures but continue with more false promises citing needing more time and another term. Obama intends to stay the course with the same failed policies to expand already proven failures.
This is the goal and ideology of an extremist fundamentalist transforming America regardless of the consequences. His obsession in his beliefs are not only financially suicidal but a threat our welfare and national security.
He is the most divisive and destructive President ever, he was never qualified to be Chief Executive or a Commander in Chief.
Fast And Furious and his Benghazi Failure was a result of his incompetence and impotence with his appeasement foreign policies a complete disaster in the Middle East. Our troops would tell you how they really feel about him if they could without repercussions.
His political ads and speeches show just how ugly and vicious his campaigns have been. That should be a bright red light and warning.
We can't afford another 4 more years of this kind of a failed president.
Two stops on election day? Romney's last desperate attempt! He has said all that could be said its time to vote! Yelling in the wind is not going to help! You don't hear much from the Tea Baggers, It looks like they have become fragmented and part of history!
Romney sucks
That's the absolute TRUTH!
