In the final hours of the election campaign season, the candidates for New York governor made one last push for voter support.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo was in Times Square to plead with Democrats that his double-digit lead in the polls is not a reason to stay home.
"I need every single one of you to go out and vote," said Gov. Cuomo.
Republican candidate Rob Astorino spent his afternoon in Brooklyn in attempt to drum up support from seniors. He continued to hammer the governor for the ongoing Moreland Commission probe and accused him of being a corrupt politician.
"If you are sick of corruption which is what we have with Gov. Cuomo...then you have to vote to make a change," said Astorino.
Astorino finished his day surrounded by supporters in Yonkers at the Dunwoodie Golf Course. Gov. Cuomo made his last campaign stops upstate in Albany and Buffalo.
Except to vote, the candidates have no public appearances scheduled for Election Day until after the polls are closed.
Over the weekend, both candidates traded jabs on the pulpits of African-American churches in New Rochelle.
Three other candidates are also vying for New York's top spot. Howie Hawkins is running on the Green Party line. Steven Cohen is running on the Sapient Party Line. Michael McDermott is a Libertarian.
