Voting-hour extensions at five precincts mean statewide results are expected to begin around 8:15 PM or later.

Federal election monitors are present in Mecklenburg, Wake and Alamance counties, with two monitors assigned to each. State officials confirmed their presence earlier today

Here’s what has been confirmed so far. Five polling locations received extensions in Hertford, Wilson, Lenoir and Columbus counties. Computer and printer problems caused delays at some locations. Officials report those technical issues have been resolved. Statewide election results will be delayed until at least 8:15 PM because voting is continuing at the affected locations. Most North Carolina polls close at 7:30 PM. Anyone already in line at closing time can still vote. These developments were reported this afternoon by Charlotte’s WFAE.
