Efforts by the State Democratic Party to extend voting hours because of some issues in West Tennessee are not on-going. State Democratic Pary officials say they have no plans to go to court, but want to make sure all the machines are working properly.

In Loudon County at Highland Park Elementary School, a power chord was incorrectly plugged in causing a slight delay this morning.

In Virginia, the FBI is looking into claims of voter intimidation and polling place misdirection.
