Hilary Clinton would go to to Douglas Grafflin Elementary School, in her hometown, of Chappaqua, New York. In hopes of a win to reposition her as a force to be reckoned with against Bernie Sanders, she has continued to reach out the voters across the board. Clinton has the advantage, as many Bernie Sanders supporters get turned away in this closed elections.

Bernie Sanders is vying for votes against his rival Hillary Clinton in New York, his home state. New York Votes went to the former Brooklynites’ neighborhood, Midwood and surveyed the residents there about their thoughts of Sanders.
“It’s exciting to know that we share a common heritage being Jewish and coming from the same neighborhood, ” said Alice Cohen, 59, an occupational therapist who grew up in Midwood, “Even with the age difference, we probably have a lot in common.”
“I think it’s fabulous it’s somebody from Brooklyn,”Elizabeth, 50, a case manager who works in Midwood, said, “I’m very shocked that somebody from Brooklyn is running for President.”
Are all the presidential candidates making you say, “neigh,” and gallop off to the nearest pasture? Belmont Stakes has a great idea: write in the horse American Pharaoh as your vote for president.
