Despite Delays, Most Polls Won't Extend Hours
Late openings at polling places and other problems have caused long delays for voters across the country today, leading some groups to call for delayed closings at certain trouble spots.
Despite that, only two precincts are currently known to be postponing their end time.
Voters in Illinois' Kane County will have until 9:30 PM local time to vote, according to Chicago's CBS-2 News. That gives voters an extra half-hour. Indiana's Delaware County also extended its voting hours, until 8:40 local time.
Officials in Cook County, Ill., Colorado, Florida, Utah and Pennsylvania have been asked to grant extra time for voters to go to the polls, according to the non-partisan Election Protection pollwatching coalition. So far, none has agreed to do so.















According to the Penn Live website (Harisburg Patriot-News) Lebanon County PA will stay open until 9:00 PM.
