An Apache County judge has approved a request to extend voting hours in the blue county after the Navajo Nation filed a lawsuit requesting a two-hour extension after facing technical errors that caused long lines.
The polls across Arizona closed at 7 pm MST.
Likewise, the RNC requested an extension in 2022 after more widespread machine failures disenfranchised tens of thousands of voters. But the judge wasn’t convinced.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, a judge rejected the RNC’s effort to extend voting hours in Maricopa County by 3 hours after 60% of voting machines in the largest county failed and led to extremely long lines and four-hour wait times.
Per ABC 15:
A judge has ruled that nine precinct locations in Apache County are to remain open until 9 p.m. Tuesday following problems at the polls.
The precincts are Chinle, Cottonwood, Dennehotso, Ft. Defiance, Lukachukai, Lupton, Rock Point, St. Michaels, and Wheatfields.
This comes as Republicans statewide are outperforming Democrats by over 200,000 votes in early ballots, and according to the numbers after polls closed, Republicans nearly doubled Democratic turnout in Maricopa County, where roughly 60% of the state’s voter reside.
