A judge in Tennessee has extended SuperTuesday voting hours in Nashville and the surrounding county after a tornado devastated the area, a Democratic Party spokeswoman says.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A judge has extended voting hours in Tennessee’s second-largest county after four Democratic presidential candidates sued to keep Super Tuesday polls open after a tornado devastated the area, a Democratic party spokeswoman said Tuesday.
Tennessee Democrats and campaigns for Joe Biden, Mike Bloomberg, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren had sued to extend the hours. Voting locations in Davidson County had opened an hour later — at 8 a.m. — after an early morning tornado damaged more than a dozen polling places and voters were advised to go to other locations to cast ballots.
Lines were long at some locations that were unprepared for additional voters and people left without casting their ballots, Cupples said.
