Trump campaign demanded extension of deadline in Bucks county after long lines outside election offices were cut off
People wait in line outside the Bucks county government building to apply for an on-demand mail ballot on the last day to request one in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday.People wait in line outside the Bucks county government building to apply for an on-demand mail ballot on the last day to request one in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday.
“This is a direct violation of Pennsylvanians’ rights to cast their ballot – and all voters have a right to STAY in line,” the Trump campaign said. The queues for late mail ballots were a result of Pennsylvania not having an early on-site voting system at designated spots, as is the case in some other states. Instead, voters can apply for ballots on-demand at election offices before filling them out and submitting them on the spot, a procedure that takes about 10 minutes.
In a statement, Bucks county admitted there had been some “miscommunication” from officials, resulting in those waiting “briefly being told they could not be accommodated”. But this was subsequently corrected, allowing them to submit applications.
