and durham county, north carolina, holds the state's most reliably democratic voters. that forced the county to issue ballots by hand, meaning longer lines and delays, factors that can often depress turnout. again, this was not an attack on the way you count the votes, but it may have been an attack on the most democratic county in the state, where hillary clinton was going to get her biggest margins on election night in north carolina. and for whatever reason, things did go wrong in that county on election night when it came to their poll book software. >> welcome to the election hq on election night. >> we'll be here all night watching the big races on air. >> the big news at this hour, eight durham precincts extending voting hours, some 15 minutes, some a full hour to 8:30. >> several precincts had problems with the check-in system. the computers didn't work right, so they went to paper books. >> because of the decentralized nature of our american election system, it is hard to get a nationwide sense of exactly which parts of our election system got hacked, got atta
