The second-largest county in Pennsylvania is not counting ballots at all on Thursday, even as people around the world wait to see who wins the presidential election.

Allegheny County officials said in a late Wednesday update that the elections warehouse was closed shortly before 11 p.m. and would not reopen for ballot counting until Friday.
