Why, that's already been answered.

See text about woman who tried to vote all day, starting at 10AM.

Any more questions?

"Asked and answered." Nearly 80 million people have already voted today, without incident. That this woman Takikawaladan Shakiradon _claims_ to have been turned away at 10 a.m. has nothing to do with extending hours in St. Louis. If in her crack haze she went to the wrong place, or had never registered at all, or was registered under the name she uses on her _other_ welfare claim, does anyone really think that she'll somehow be voting between when the polls _would have closed_ and whenever they eventually do?
