Officials in Luzerne County, where paper shortages caused Election Day ballot problems, deadlocked Monday on whether to report official vote tallies to the state, effectively preventing their certification of the results.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — Officials in Luzerne County in northeastern Pennsylvania, where paper shortages caused Election Day ballot problems, deadlocked Monday on whether to report official vote tallies to the state, effectively preventing their certification of the results.

A judge extended voting in Luzerne by two hours, to 10 p.m., during the Nov. 8 election after the supplies ran short at some polling places. It's unclear how many people were kept from voting as a result. Alyssa Fusaro, a Republican Luzerne election board member, said she could not vouch that the election had been conducted freely and fairly.

The board’s lawyer, Paula Radick, said failure to certify could bring litigation against the county from the state or from candidates.
