Glitches keep polls open later in six states
http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/blogs/politicalticker/index.html

(AP) -- Electronic glitches and human errors have resulted in extended voting hours in six states.

Voting machine problems delayed voters at two precincts in Georgia: the Fourth Congressional district, DeKalb County, stays open until 8 p.m. In Clayton County, a precinct in the 13th
Congressional district will be open until 7:30 p.m.

Polls in Indiana's Delaware County, will stay open until 8:40 p.m. instead of six.

Polls in Pennsylvania's Lebanon and Lancaster counties will be open until 9 p.m.

And four precincts in South Carolina's Lancaster County will stay open until 8 p.m.

Meanwhile, one polling station in Durham, North Carolina, that opened late, will stay open until 8:30 p-m.

Two late opening precincts in Cook County, Illinois, will stay open until 9 p.m.
