Trump called NYC a 'ghost town' but early voting lines say otherwise-

On Thursday evening during the thirdsecond and final presidential debate, President Trump declared that New York City is a "ghost town." Just two days later, New Yorkers lined up for the first day of early voting and showed the president that his former city is anything but empty.

Some people brought their own chairs to withstand the hours they might have to wait to vote.
