The latest:
A Pennsylvania state judge on Tuesday ordered polls to remain open for two extra hours in Cambria County, which sought the extension after a software malfunction affected ballot-scanning machines.
County officials say the problem caused voter confusion, with some people leaving without casting a ballot, as well as long lines at some locations. They stressed, though, that no one was being turned away from the polls and all ballots would be counted, as did state officials.
An Alabama county printed emergency ballots Tuesday morning after discovering a printing error led to a missing page which contained proposed statewide and local constitutional amendments.
The Alabama Secretary of State’s Office confirmed emergency ballots were being printed.
The ACLU of Alabama has asked the St. Clair probate office to extend voting hours by the number of hours it takes to get new ballots, a spokesman for the organization said.
Polls close at different times across the U.S., impacting when results come in. According to 270toWin, here are key times for states:

Unexpectedly competitive races in Texas and Nebraska give Democrats a chance to offset potential losses elsewhere, while incumbents Sherrod Brown (Ohio) and Bob Casey (Pennsylvania) face heavily funded GOP challengers. The outcome will shape the Senate’s direction on key issues for the coming term.
Election day is here, and while the main focus is the race for the white house, those congressional races are important as well. Laura Tamman, a political science professor at Pace University breaks down those pivotal congressional races.
With all 435 House seats on the ballot, a few tightly contested districts could decide control. Democrats aim to flip four seats to take back the House, while Republicans look to expand their majority. Key races include California’s Central Valley, Arizona’s 1st, and Maine’s 2nd district, where incumbents face well-funded challengers in swing districts.
Notable contests feature Democratic incumbent Jared Golden in Trump-won Maine, and Rep. Matt Cartwright in Pennsylvania’s 8th district, a critical battleground. These districts will be pivotal as results roll in and may determine the balance of power in the House.
