> Technical problems at several US polling locations delayed voting. In New York’s Westchester County, machines struggled to read ballots printed on overly thick paper, so officials collected them for a later manual count. Delays or extended voting hours were also reported in Florida’s Broward County, North Carolina, Arizona’s Maricopa County and Pennsylvania.
