This is what happens if you're still in line to vote when the polls close

...Clark County spokesman Dan Kulin told the AP, allowing everyone in line when the polls close to vote is the law.

"If there's a line when closing time comes, we just keep processing voters until there's no more line," he said. "We're flexible because we want people to vote."

Many (if not all — I couldn't find any that didn't follow this rule) states have laws on the books requiring every person in line when the polls close to be able to vote. If this happens to you, stay in line.

"It's one of the most basic principles of electoral democracy," Ned Foley, director of Ohio State University's Election Law @ Moritz, wrote for Medium. "If you go to the polls when they are open, and you are a registered and qualified voter, then as long as you wait in line, you are entitled to cast your ballot even if the line is so long that you must wait until after the scheduled time for the polls to close."
