SUMMARY: Some precincts in Hinds County, Mississippi, have stayed open until 9 p.m. due to ballot shortages and long lines at the polls. Election commissioners had to print more ballots and distribute them to the precincts, resulting in delays and frustrated voters. A lawsuit filed by the Mississippi Democratic Party extended the closing hours from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. in Hinds County. The Mississippi Republican Party has filed a motion to intervene, asking for separate counting of ballots cast after 7 p.m. The Democratic and Republican candidates are hosting watch parties to monitor results as they come in.

The results are coming in.
