MANHATTAN — Campaigning is over, and now New Yorkers have made their choice.

With 99 percent of precincts reporting, Hillary Clinton beat Bernie Sanders 67 percent to 33 percent.  On the GOP side, Donald Trump beat his rivals John Kasich and Ted Cruz earning 44 percent of Republican votes. Kasich came in second, with 35 percent of the vote.

After weeks of debate, campaign rallies and speeches, voters in the 10th Congressional District — which stretches along the west side of Manhattan and includes the Upper West Side, Chelsea and Greenwich Village — went to the polls Tuesday to pick Republican and Democratic presidential nominees. 

Some voters complained of finding problems at their polling stations, including 77-year-old Sarah, who declined to give her last name.

"I was expecting to vote," said Sarah, whose longtime polling site, P.S. 9 on West 84th Street, was moved by the BOE after she'd voted there for 40 years.

Sarah said she was both "surprised" and "annoyed" by how difficult the process of voting was Tuesday.

However, some first-time voters said they had no problems at the polls.

"I really hope there’s a big voter turnout,” said Kaya Schnorr, 27, who has lived in the neighborhood for two years and voted at P.S. 87 on West 77th Street. "I’m always trying to encourage young people to vote."

At Park West High School in Hell’s Kitchen, local resident Rob Lustgarten, 28, a Hillary Clinton supporter, said he had no problems getting into his site.

“It wasn’t too crowded,” he said. “I didn’t wait at all. I walked in, walked out. In the past, it’s been a lot more crowded.”

A number of voters at the West 50th Street site said they were feeling the Bern. 

"I voted for Bernie, baby,” said Margaret, 89, who has lived on West 49th Street for the past five decades and declined to provide her last name. “I absolutely do not like the other person.”

Six Democratic and three Republican delegates were up for grabs in the 10th district.
