LAS VEGAS (NewsNation Now) — A Clark County District Court judge has granted an order that will allow some Clark County polling locations to stay open until 8 p.m.

The Trump campaign and Nevada Republicans asked a state court judge to extend voting by one hour at 22 Las Vegas-area locations, citing reports that those sites did not open on time Tuesday morning.

An Election Day lawsuit filed in Clark County District Court was granted an immediate hearing before Judge Joe Hardy.

Polls were scheduled to close at 7 p.m. PT, but election officials keep sites open until the last person in line at that time can vote.

Clark County has 1,150 precincts bunched into 125 voting centers in and around Las Vegas.

The lawsuit filed against Clark County Registrar of Voters Joe Gloria points to a Twitter message posted by the Nevada Secretary of State elections division at 7:22 a.m. referring to several polling locations having technical problems that delayed opening.

The message urged people in line to be patient, saying the sites would open soon.

According to the lawsuit, 22 polling location sites opened late due to technical issues.
