Story County Assistant Auditor Lisa Markley said that the rules are different for satellite voting and the station officials had to close at 3 p.m. regardless of how many people were in line.
"It's illegal for us to open early or stay late," Markley said.
"The satellite hours are clearly posted. When the station is going to close, we announce it 15 minutes ahead of time, and we did that."

Secretary of State Chet Culver said in Ames on Friday that he was "extremely concerned" about election officials' actions that led to nearly 100 people being turned away from a satellite voting station Thursday at Parks Library -- in violation of Iowa law, he said.

The Iowa Administrative Code, however, requires election officials at satellite absentee voting stations to close "after everyone has voted who arrived before the time established to close the station," a passage of the law Culver read aloud at a news conference outside the library Friday afternoon.
"It was clearly a violation of election law," Culver said.
