Voting booth changes anger Brooklyn Heights residents
Many worry they won’t make it to new polling site
“The Board of Elections goofed,” said Toba Potosky, president of Cadman Towers in Brooklyn Heights. “They goofed two times.”
Fuming residents of 10 Clinton St. met with reporters on Monday to complain that they received notices several weeks ago from the Board of Elections (BOE) that their polling place in the upcoming primary and general election was to be the Brooklyn Heights Library. The problem with that? The library is closed, with demolition scheduled to begin any time.
After being informed of the snafu, BOE then moved their polling place to Urban Assembly High School on the east side of Adams Street.
