PA Judge Intervenes and Extends Early Voting After Bucks County Officials Blocked Trump Voters


Bucks County is the milquetoast capital of Pennsylvania.  A solidly conservative county run by white wine spritzer politicians, Democrats and Republicans, who dine on little crustless triangle finger sandwiches filled with cucumbers.  The viewpoint amid the professional republican officials there, is that President Trump must adhere to their constructs.

Showcasing this mindset, the purple Bucks County officials decided they were going to use their own arbitrary timelines to shut down early voting.  The local Democrats called in law enforcement and the video at the bottom of the page shows the outcome.

However, the RNC and Trump campaign found out what the Bucks County republicans and democrats were doing, and they filed for immediate relief from the court [SEE HERE] A judge intervened and has now extended the early voting deadlines by 3 days.

PENNSYLVANIA – A Pennsylvania judge on Wednesday sided with Donald Trump’s campaign and agreed to extend an in-person voting option in a suburban Philadelphia county 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 narrowly divided county, which is led by Democrats, is often seen as a political bellwether.

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 Bucks County voters to apply in person for a mail-in ballot. The judge’s order permits applications through the close of business on Friday. A county spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the ruling.  The Trump campaign hailed the ruling as a win.  (more)
