Hosting polling places seen as a security risk because of public access
Port Washington voters will cast their ballots at regular polling places in schools as they have for decades during next week’s Feb. 19 primary and the April general election, but then voting in school buildings will end because of security concerns following the Newtown, Conn., school shootings.
