Some voting machines go down briefly in Aiken County

• Ga. high court says absentee ballots must be returned by Election Day
• Giuliani cleared out apartment weeks before deadline, lawyer says
• Georgia poll worker charged over threatening letter, feds say

AIKEN, S.C. - Voting machines were out for a few minutes Tuesday morning at one Aiken County voting site as South Carolinians cast ballots in a historic election.

The machines at Schofield Middle School had to be reset and were back up and running in a few minutes.

Another voter reported a similar problem at the Warren Belvedere Church voting site on Edgefield Road, although we haven’t confirmed that.

Polling sites across South Carolina are open until 7 p.m.

Sometimes in cases when technical problems prevent voting at a polling site, that site gets authorization to stay open later.

There’s no word on whether that’s the case at Schofield.
