The Trump Campaign secured a significant legal victory on Wednesday, successfully extending early voting in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, after Republican voters were turned away.
Earlier this week Bucks County Emergency Services shut down the Doylestown in-person voting line early on the final day for absentee ballot requests.
According to the Bucks County Election website, Doylestown was scheduled to close at 5 p.m. Eastern Time.
The Trump Camp filed a lawsuit against Bucks County on Wednesday.
Later on Wednesday, a Pennsylvania judge ruled in favor of the Trump Campaign, extending early voting until 5:00 PM on Friday.
As reported by NBC Philadelphia:
A Pennsylvania judge on Wednesday sided with Donald Trump’s campaign and agreed to extend an in-person voting option in suburban Philadelphia where long lines on the final day led to complaints voters were being disenfranchised by an unprepared election office.
Judge Jeffrey Trauger said in a one-page order that Bucks County voters who want to apply for an early mail ballot now have until Friday.
The Trump campaign’s lawsuit, which was filed Wednesday morning, comes amid a flurry of litigation and complaints over voting in a battleground state that is expected to play a central role in helping select the next president in 2024’s election.
The lawsuit sought a one-day extension, through Wednesday at 5 p.m., for voters to apply in-person for a mail-in ballot. The judge’s order permits applications through the close of business on Friday.
