As the voting booths don't close until the last voter has voted at each location, those taken from the line will STILL BE IN LINE TO VOTE--because THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND THEY WERE IN LINE TO VOTE. So, the voting booths will remain open until they vote.
As luck would have it, I volunteered to work at a polling place, some years ago. The rule, at least in Michigan, is you need to be in line, at poll closing time, to vote. If the rule is the same in Ohio, then those hundreds of people I saw on the 11PM news in Toledo, in 2004. had been standing there since before 7:30. So, to prevent someone voting in person, they would only need to be held "for questioning" until after poll closing time, because it would be too late to get in line.
I lucked out. There was no line. We started breaking down some of the voting booths before closing time, and the doors were locked at 8pm on the dot.
