**Polling Hours Extended in Luzerne and Cambria Counties Following Morning Issues**
In a move to accommodate voters following early morning disruptions, Luzerne County's Laflin Borough polling station will remain open for an additional 90 minutes. This extension comes after the station failed to open on time, causing about an hour-and-a-half delay at the start of the day.
The court's decision means that the Laflin Borough polls will now close at 9:30 p.m., ensuring that residents have ample opportunity to cast their votes despite the initial setback. The delay and subsequent extension aim to ensure that no voter is disenfranchised due to the morning's mishap.
Similarly, voting hours in Cambria County have also been extended after technical difficulties arose, specifically issues with machines failing to scan some ballots. This extension reflects the county's commitment to maintaining the integrity and accessibility of the voting process for all its citizens.
These developments underscore the importance of preparedness and swift judicial responses in maintaining a fair electoral process. Voters are urged to take advantage of the extended hours to ensure their voices are heard.
