New York AG to staff hotline for primary day poll problems

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York primary voters will be able to report problems at the polls through a special hotline.

State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced that he has a hotline staffed by attorneys and staff in his Civil Rights Bureau for Tuesday's primary. The number is 800-771-7755.

The statewide hotline debuted in November 2012. Schneiderman says his office fielded hundreds of complaints from voters and worked with local election officials to quickly address issues.
