The Texas Supreme Court temporarily blocked a lower court order to keep Dallas County polling sites open two extra hours Tuesday, throwing votes cast during the extended hours into question.
The state’s top court ordered all ballots cast by voters who were not in line before 7 p.m. local time to be separated from the rest of the day’s votes. The court issued a similar ruling for two polling locations in Williamson County.
The rulings were the latest development in a muddled situation in the two Texas counties that led Democratic Senate candidate Jasmine Crockett to tell her supporters at a watch party: “We will not know election results tonight.”
In Dallas County, the confusion is rooted in election conspiracy theories about voting machines, which propelled the Dallas County GOP to abandon countywide voting in favor of precinct-level voting and led, Democrats say, thousands of voters to show up at the wrong polling site.
Earlier in the evening, a Dallas County judge ordered Democratic polling sites to stay open for an additional two hours for the Texas primary to give voters a chance to cast their ballots.
