Yes. I assume the others never got in.

No. I read about them pounding on the door in some big city,probably in
Pa. I assume the police were called by someone inside, and they made
the pounders stop.
BTW, I can't find the thread but I said soomething about election
judges**, and someone replied that in some other country there were 2
judges at each polling place but they didn't do anything most of the
time. **Maybe I used the wrong word, not sure. I think that's what
the 3 people in charge of a polling place in Illinois are called. All my
info is from late 60's, early 70's, but there were two Dems and one Rep,
or the opposite in each polling place, and they are busy all the time.
They make decisions, keep order, instruct the policeman what to do if
someone is causing a problem,
and iirc they are the major poll workers too. They check people in,
find their registation in the book (now the computer or tablet). hand
them whatever piece of paper or something that tells the voting booth
manager that they are allowed to vote.
