President Donald J. Trump's 2024 campaign has won a significant victory in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, to keep early voting open until Friday at 5:00 PM. Joined by the Republican National Committee, the campaign sued after local election officials ordered police to cut off early vote lines well ahead of closure times at some polling places due to the volume of voters-many believed to support Trump.
He added: "We will keep fighting. Go vote! Stay in line!" Newsletter Need to Know.
The Trump campaign also hailed the decision as a major victory for voters.
"We just won our lawsuit in Bucks County for extended Early Voting through Friday at 5:00 PM," James Blair-political director for the Trump campaign-wrote.
He added: "Thank you to the court for making the right decision and for finding that Bucks County violated the Pennsylvania election code and providing the requested relief." Earlier this week, video footage surfaced showing local police and Democratic Party volunteers telling voters they had to turn back from vote centers because the lines were too long and they would not be able to receive their ballot before the locations were slated to close.
Some voters appear confused, especially when confronted by the Democratic Party activists who they initially believed were government election workers.
In one clip, a police officer can be heard telling a woman that while the voting center didn't close until 4:30 PM, the slow line and number of voters resulted in him cutting the line off entirely at 1:45 PM.
