Story
Voting Machine Malfunctions Delay Pennsylvania Voters, Extend Hours by Two Hours in Republican Counties
Nov 5, 2024, 08:07 PM
Widespread voting machine malfunctions have been confirmed in two largely Republican counties in Pennsylvania on Election Day. Officials reported that a software issue prevented ballots from being scanned, causing significant delays for voters. As a result, voting hours have been extended by two hours in Cambria County until 10 p.m., allowing citizens more time to cast their ballots. The malfunction, reported by the New York Post, has been described as a 'ballot scanning botch' and has affected the key swing state during the 2024 US Presidential Election.
