Will Polls stay open if people are still on line? (election, elect)

[Rachel976]

I expect a massive turnout of Republicans on Election Day. Does anyone know if polls are required to stay open to accept your vote as long as you got on line in time?

Check the voter information for your state.

In Texas, if you're in line at 7p.m., when the polls are scheduled to close, you can vote.

They typically do.

In oregon if you are in line before the specified time you will be allowed to vote. I think thats true for most states.

Rachel, we just did early voting. I know that we live in the same general area. Have you considered doing that? If you have questions, you can DM me.

Thanks to all for your responses.

Thanks....I do have a question. DM coming shortly.

They do...but by the Supreme Court's logic on not accepting ballots post marked on election day, seems the answer should be no.
