NC Voting Delays in Four Counties Push Election Results to 8:15 p.m.
Technical glitches at polling places in four North Carolina counties forced the State Board of Elections to extend voting hours, delaying the release of statewide results until at least 8:15 p.m. The disruptions, described as minor, affected sites in Columbus, Lenoir, Wilson, and Hertford counties. While officials assured the public that such issues are routine, the delay coincides with high-stakes races for the U.S. Senate and House, where national control is at stake.
