Some people who lined up before polls closed waited hours in frigid, snowy weather to cast their votes. Roughly 200 people were still in line after midnight at the courthouse in Gallatin, one of the state’s largest counties, some four hours after polls closed, AP reports.

By 3am, about 20 people remained. Election officials did not plan to begin releasing results until every voter had gone through.

“I’m tired,” Tatyana Deshields, 22, said after she’d waited in line for more than four hours with some friends. “They had to tap me to tell me to keep moving.”
