Harlem, NY — For the first time in over four decades, a different
person will be representing upper Manhattan and the Bronx in the House
of Representatives. Rep. Charles Rangel announced he would be retiring
after representing the area since 1971.
The general election on Tuesday culminated with Adriano Espaillat
taking over his seat in the 13th Congressional District. Espaillat took
81.5 percent of the vote, dwarfing the single-digit totals of Tony Evans
and Daniel Vila Rivera.
Wait times were long in many Harlem locations on Tuesday morning.
P.S. 154 was having issues with polling machines, which led to wait
times well over an hour. One Twitter user said she'd been in line for
over three hours at the school. Wait times in Districts 13, 14 and 15 in
Harlem were around 45 minutes each.
