PA county extends voting by 2 hours after widespread ballot problems cause long lines and confusion

Voters in a deep-red Pennsylvania county will get two extra hours to vote on Election Day after widespread problems with voting machines caused confusion and long lines. NY Post reporter Ethan Dodd shares this story.

The issues with scanning ballots in Cambria County threatened to disenfranchise voters in the critical swing state, a local election official said Tuesday.

Problems were also reported with tabulation machines in Bedford County.

Authorities reassured voters that their ballots will be counted despite the malfunctions.

Former President Donald Trump won the counties with 68% and 83%, respectively.

Of course. Who is surprised by this swing state? Typical.

[bobstranzenbach]

Haven’t they had LOTS of time to be ready?

[jackshover]

If you get started late it's reasonable to stay open late for the same amount of time, the voters should not be penalized.

[johnbrennan]

Not the first time they are doing this, no excuse!

[CanyonArchaic]

[rbwirth]

The tin-foil hat crowd bleating about rigging and unfairness never disappoints my funny bone.

[autumnfragrance]

Outrageous. These late votes should not count. Rules are rules. These people should have voted earlier or by mail.
