Hours before polls closed, a hotline for complaints related to New York’s presidential primary elections had already received more calls than it did during the 2012 cycle, according to state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s office.
Schneiderman’s hotline received 562 complaints from 6 a.m. to 3:50 p.m., according to spokesman Nick Benson. Another 140 complaints were sent by email, Benson said.
That’s more than four times the roughly 150 complaints the attorney general’s office received during the 2012 general election.
“This is by far the largest volume of complaints we have received for an election since Attorney General Schneiderman took office in 2011,” Benson said in an email.
New York is not a winner-take-all primary, so delegates will be divided among the candidates based on ballots cast by party voters.
The most common complaint? Individuals who tried to vote but were told they weren’t registered, according to Schneiderman’s office.
