Pennsylvania doesn’t offer early in-person voting. However, it does allow voters to apply for and get mail-in ballots in person at county election offices.
The Trump campaign filed a lawsuit against the Bucks County Board of Elections on Wednesday, Oct. 30, asking for an extension of the program.
The lawsuit claims election officials turned away people as early as 2:40 p.m. when they were in line before the 5 p.m. deadline Tuesday, Oct. 29.
The American Civil Liberties Union, which doesn’t often side with Republicans in legal issues, praised the judge’s decision. The ACLU said it also had received complaints from people in Bucks County.
Pennsylvania’s Secretary of State Office said election officials received 120,000 in-person requests for mail-in ballot applications, including almost 20,000 on Tuesday.
Kamala Harris’ campaign has not commented on the lawsuit.
