Two days to go

Too many voters?
With record numbers of people expected to inundate the polls Tuesday, voting experts are concerned the sky-high turnout may overwhelm the system, resulting in long lines and short-tempered voters.

"Our biggest problem going into this election is that we may not be able to meet the demand," said Kim Alexander, president of the California Voter Foundation.

"Do we have the capacity to handle an extremely high turnout? That's the question that is weighing on the minds of poll workers and election officials." Troy Anderson in the Daily News.
