fairness to Trump, who four years ago almost disrupted the US democracy when he refused to accept defeat and allegedly incited a mob action at the US Capitol.
Courts extend voting in handful of Georgia, Pennsylvania polling places
A judge in Cobb County, Georgia has ordered two polling places in Marietta and Kell to stay open until 7:20 p.m. ET after these
locations had delayed opening earlier on Tuesday morning.
Additionally, a Pennsylvania judge has ordered polling place hours in Laflin Borough to be extended until 9:30 p.m. after polls opened late and some voters could not cast their ballots earlier.
Local news station WNEP reported that the judge of elections was not present at the Laflin location when polls were supposed to open at 7:30 a.m. The first ballots were not cast until 8:30 a.m. Some voters said they had waited in line for nearly two hours before they were able to vote.
Both Georgia and Pennsylvania are key battleground states in the 2024 presidential election, viewed as must-win by former President Trump’s
and Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaigns, respectively.
