Be sure and check out the gallery for more images! You can also see more images at the original source here! [via NY Mag]

this is just mind blowing.
When I went to the voting polls yesterday, it was a LARGE TURNOUT of women of all ages. from young to OLD. it made me proud to be a BRONXITE to see the people within my area being supportive.
