North Carolina results to be delayed after glitch

Results in North Carolina will be delayed by at least 45 minutes, state officials say, after a technical glitch in a single polling place in Sampson County, the News and Observer reports.

Polls there and in three other state-wide locations will be extended by up to 45 minutes.

The state is one of the few that allows early counting of absentee and mail-in ballots, which would normally have been released just when polls close at 7:30 p.m., but will instead need to wait until 8:15.

While the state is not usually included in the roster of key swing states like Pennsylvania and Florida, it is up for grabs, with Biden holding only a slight lead, according to the latest polls.
