A judge in Pennsylvania rejected a request from Democrats to extend voting hours near Lehigh University in Bethlehem Ward 3. The Democrats sought to extend voting until 10 p.m. ET due to long wait times, with lines reportedly stretching up to four hours. They claimed that the board of elections did not provide an adequate number of voting machines or staff at the polling place.
However, the judge ruled against the extension and stated that registered voters who were in line by 8 p.m. ET would still be allowed to cast their votes. This decision aimed to balance the need for accommodating voters while also adhering to established voting procedures.
