Pennsylvania Judge Orders Voting Extension Due To Ballot Scanning Issue

A Pennsylvania judge has ordered voting hours to be extended until 10 p.m. ET in Cambria County after a software malfunction prevented voters from scanning their ballots. The County Solicitor, Ron Repak, confirmed the issue, stating that the Electronic Voting System malfunction hindered the ballot scanning process.

Despite the technical glitch, election officials have assured voters that no one will be turned away and that all completed ballots will be accepted, secured, and counted by the Board of Elections. To accommodate voters, the County Board of Elections has set up express voting machines at precinct locations to allow electronic voting, in addition to accepting hand ballots.
