The Texas Supreme Court has temporarily BLOCKED a Dallas judge's order to keep the polls open til 9, ordering the county to separate out votes from people who were not in line at 7pm.

Not a final ruling, but will create chaos in getting results from Dallas County

1. This is actually correct. I believe this has happened before.

I saw this the last time I voted. You have to be in line when the polls close. They have a poll worker waiting at the back of the line and cut it off at 7pm. Everyone in line can vote.

2. Didn't this area have opening issues with voting equipment? If so, longer times open makes sense.

4. I haven't heard that. Some places generate lines. They just let everyone in line vote as the polls close.

3. Republicans sure don't want people to vote. Screw up an election and then stop a judge from attempting

to alleviate the confusion.
