Pennsylvania may hold the key to who wins this monumental presidential election—but they’re already experiencing “issues.” Not surprisingly, a software glitch is to blame:
A Pennsylvania judge approved a petition to extend voting hours until 10 p.m. ET after a "malfunction" prevented voters in Cambria County from scanning their ballots.
Elections officials emphasized that no one who wishes to cast their ballot will be turned away and that all votes will be counted. Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Whatley urged voters to stay in line and cast their ballots regardless of the delay.
"The Cambria County Board of Election learned early this morning that a software malfunction in the County's Electronic Voting System has prevented voters from scanning their ballots," County Solicitor Ron Repak said in a statement. "This should not discourage voters from voting at their precincts."
