Judge rejects Ohio McGovern request to extend polling hours
District Court Judge Frank J. Battisti refused to extend polling hours beyond 6 30 p m citing no federal jurisdiction to order longer voting. McGovern supporters argued possible rights violations due to high turnout and inadequate facilities. Battisti urged sufficient paper ballots and warned against voter discouragement from lines. He noted past concerns in May with machine breakdowns and long lines and left open potential action if constitutional violations occur.
