MORE ON CLASH OF SWORD, FINAL BATTLE: HILLARY AND TRUMP

At 7am on election day, 70 people
were lined up at Polling Site 10559 in
New York City.
                                                                                                  

Above the entrance to the polling
site, in giant gold letters, was a
name: Trump.

“It’s highly ironic,” said Erin Kelly,
who was waiting to cast her ballot.
“I’m definitely voting for Clinton.”

Trump Place, the polling site for
hundreds of people today, was
developed by Trump in the 1990s.
There are actually several Trump
Places in this part of Manhattan’s
upper west side, although some
residents of those buildings are
campaigning to have his name
removed.

“At the point when Trump’s
campaign became obviously nasty it
went from being an embarrassment
having his name on the building, to
actually being a reason to have to
apologize,” Kelly said.

Not everyone in line was as averse
to Trump, however. Slava Hazin, 50,
planned to vote for him.

“ABC,” Hazin said of the reason for
his vote. “Anyone but Clinton.”
Hazin, a Republican, said he was
only reluctantly voting for Trump.
He lamented the poor quality of the
Republican candidates this year.

“It was the worst line up we’ve ever
had,” he said. “I mean, I’ve voted for
some Republican duds but this really
takes the cake.”

Hazin was with his wife, Karen
Hazin, a “lifelong Democrat” who
had just voted for Hillary Clinton.

She said she had not attempted to
convert her husband. “I’ve lived with
him for many years. It’s sort of a
waste of time,” Hazin said. “And I’ve
done my job. My children are Hillary
supporters.”
