Trump Campaign Sues Pennsylvania County Over Alleged Voter Suppression

By Christen Smith | The Center Square

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign has initiated legal proceedings against county officials in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, asserting voter suppression claims during the final hours for on-demand mail-in ballot requests. The controversy erupted after election workers reportedly advised voters in lengthy lines to return later that day, which raised concerns among Trump supporters.

As of the deadline at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, many voters were filling out their mail-in ballot applications at the election office, leading to delays in processing. Eyewitness accounts, shared on social media, claimed that police were blocking entrances, further fueling allegations of obstruction. The Trump campaign disseminated videos and posts from concerned voters, alleging that their right to vote was being curtailed.

In response to the allegations, Bucks County officials stated that anyone in line by 5 p.m. was allowed to request a ballot. However, they clarified that applications could not be completed on-site but would be mailed within a week. The county acknowledged a miscommunication that resulted in some individuals being incorrectly told they could not receive immediate assistance.

The legal action was announced during a Trump rally in Allentown on Tuesday evening, with the former president emphasizing issues faced by voters in Pennsylvania. Additionally, reports of suspicious voter registration applications have surfaced, with potential fraud impacting multiple counties, although only Lancaster County has confirmed any fraudulent submissions.

As the Trump campaign pursues this lawsuit, the spotlight remains on Pennsylvania’s electoral procedures and the integrity of the upcoming elections.
