America is gearing up to vote for a new president on Tuesday, and already by Monday polling stations were in place, ready for the expected flood of voters that candidates are hoping will come to cast their ballots.

On a leafy dead-end street, the Board of Elections has managed to tuck in a polling place in the basement of a residential building on East 17th Street and Avenue I, next to a tony housing project where a security manager in an outside booth eyes unfamiliar people.

A second polling place for neighbors to cast their ballots is located barely a block away in the Brooklyn Public Library on East 16th Street between Avenues I and J.

Election booths have been set up in many libraries, public schools and even one in a church, said a local source who requested anonymity.
