Meanwhile, the state's commissioner of elections, Elaine Manlove, confirmed to The Ballot Box that after receiving several complaints from voters at polling stations Tuesday, she contacted the O'Donnell campaign and asked that it direct its supporters to tone down their efforts.
She said O'Donnell backers were crowding the exterior of several polling places in anticipation of the candidate's arrival, which briefly restricted access for some voters.
"The campaign was basically sending out advance teams to polling places to form crowds before got there to greet voters," said Manlove. "My issue with that is that at some places they were blocking the sidewalk and voters need to have access to polling places at all times."
