Newark, New Jersey mayor Cory Booker said on Twitter Monday that residents there can confirm their own election sites by texting “WHERE” (877877) and Governor Chris Christie has vowed to accomodate as many voters as possible, even in stations lacking electricity after the storm. All faxed ballots ordered over this past weekend must be turned in before 8 p.m. Tuesday night in order to count.
