Voters go to polls in New York primaries

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders threw a concert in a park with a dramatic view of Manhattan’s skyscrapers.

At the opposite end of New York state, Republican front-runner Donald Trump held a rally in Buffalo, a city recovering from economic decline.

By the end of last night — the last official day of campaigning before voting in the state’s Democratic and Republican primary elections begins — thousands of New Yorkers will have heard the candidates’ closing pitches.
