PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) — A judge denied on Tuesday evening the Republicans’ effort to extend poll hours and delay the release of early ballot numbers on Election Day in Arizona’s largest county. The judge rejected the notion that people in Maricopa County were denied their ability to vote because of tabulation machine issues. The poll hours will stick with ending at 7 p.m. and early ballot results will be released around 8 p.m. Republican groups, including including the Republican National Committee and Kari Lake For Arizona, wanted to extend those by three hours.
