Yeah but what if they give you a pencil that keeps breaking, or they rub out of your vote
I would take my own Pen. Like I did in the EU Referendum. Some Polling Stations were not allowing own pens until someone googled that there is no legal obligation to use the provided pencils at the booth and showed this to the Polling staff.
The problems have been with polling machines - you can't use a pen with them, as you press buttons to choose the candidates.

They don't use pens because they're worried about people switching them with Ines that have invisible ink but yeah you can use your own.
Trump has started a lawsuit against Nevada for allowing people to vote past 10pm last Friday but that's the law if people are in line. Think it's starting...

But as Clark County spokesman Dan Kulin told the AP, allowing everyone in line when the polls close to vote is the law.
"If there's a line when closing time comes, we just keep processing voters until there's no more line," he said. "We're flexible because we want people to vote."
Many (if not all — I couldn't find any that didn't follow this rule) states have laws on the books requiring every person in line when the polls close to be able to vote. If this happens to you, stay in line.
"It's one of the most basic principles of electoral democracy," Ned Foley, director of Ohio State University's Election Law @ Moritz, wrote for Medium. "If you go to the polls when they are open, and you are a registered and qualified voter, then as long as you wait in line, you are entitled to cast your ballot even if the line is so long that you must wait until after the scheduled time for the polls to close."
On the day of any election, the polls shall be opened at 7 o'clock in the forenoon, and shall be continuously open until 8 o'clock in the afternoon and no longer. Every qualified elector present and in line at the polls at the hour prescribed for the closing thereof shall be allowed to vote.

There is more to that story.
Sky News are saying:
Quote:
Donald Trump has sued the registrar of voters in Clark County, Nevada.
The Republican candidate claimed a Las Vegas polling station had improperly been allowed to remain open last week to accommodate people lined up to vote.
The lawsuit claims election officials "intentionally co-ordinated with democratic activists" to skew the vote.
Yeah but they didn't produce any evidence of that and even if they did the law is to keep the polls open.
I know but they were saying people were arriving at the line after Poll closing time. I thought it was only those in the line at the time of closing still permitted to cast their vote?
