What happens if there is still a line of voters at poll closing time?

[aeschylus]

Does it vary state by state?

[Pirate Smile]

1. As long as you are in line by closing time, you get to vote.

[NoSheep]

2. In every state? I know yes in NC

3. New York State as well

Nobody would dare try to close down a poll station here.

9. remember in 2000, GOP said it was vs law to keep polls open

I think they filed suit to close polls

this all was in St Louis

[Bridget Burke]

6. That's true in Texas.

Everybody in line gets to vote.

[Rambis]

7. Yes every state

If it is getting late and anyone tells you to leave or whatever you get the Dem poll watcher to call the emergency hotline in your state. Each precinct captain at the polls knows what I am talking about. Have them make the call and a lawyer will be there in minutes!

8. EVERYONE on line before the polls are scheduled to close VOTES

NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES. You CANNOT be turned away, and the polls CANNOT CLOSE until the LAST person who was on line before the polls close has voted! This applies to ALL FIFTY STATES! Bring a cell phone with you in case there's a problem.
