Voters waiting up to 7 hours to vote in Bethlehem, Pa.
Voters in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, were waiting in line for as long as seven hours to cast their ballots at a polling location near Lehigh University, an official confirmed to ABC News.
The official -- Scott Hough, the vice chair of the Northampton County Election Commission -- said the wait was due to a broken voting machine in one precinct.
A judge denied Pennsylvania Democrats' request to keep this polling location open until 10 p.m., but will allow any voters who were in line at 8 p.m. to cast their ballots.
The state's Democratic Party petitioned the judge to grant the extension, arguing the Northampton County Board of Elections "has failed to provide sufficient voting machines and personnel to accommodate" voters.
"Long wait times resulting from inadequate equipment and personnel have caused electors to potentially be unable to vote within the time for opening and closing of polls," the petition stated.
