Cleveland Polling Problem Delays Ohio Election Results

CLEVELAND -- Tuesday's elections results in statewide races are delayed until at least 9:30 p.m.

"Due to a Federal Court decision to keep the polls in Cuyahoga County open until 9 p.m., the Franklin County Board of Elections is prohibited from posting results until 9:30 p.m.," read a statement from the Franklin County Board of Elections.

A judge ordered a polling site that didn't open on time to stay open late. Some electronic voting machines made printing errors, among other glitches reported in Tuesday's primary election, the state's first without punch cards.

All 88 Ohio counties were using either touch-screen electronic machines or ones that electronically scan voter-marked ballots.
