Election night in New York City: anxiety, uncertainty and empty streets

New York City prepared for the final act of the most consequential election in a generation on Tuesday. There was reason to worry.

Even the mayor waited almost four hours, after which he and the governor suggested a complete overhaul of the board of elections.
