Voters in Doylestown, the seat of suburban Philadelphia's Bucks County, waited up to three hours on Tuesday, the last day to apply for a mail ballot in person, according to CBS News and the Associated Press.
"There's been lines like this for days across counties in PA," James Blair, the Trump campaign's political director, wrote alongside a video on X, formerly Twitter. "Only for elections officials to come out and push people out of line and tell them to come back. Voter suppression!"
In 2019, the Pennsylvania Legislature, then controlled by Republicans, passed a law creating a system for early voting different from most states. It allows registered voters to go to their county elections office, request a mail ballot, and fill out an application. Once that is reviewed, the ballot is printed. They can then fill it out and turn it in during that visit or return it by mail or place it in a drop box.
Lines have been long because that process can take about 10 to 12 minutes per voter, Bucks County Board of Elections Chairman Bob Harvie told CBS News.
"Pennsylvania is engaging in SERIOUS ELECTION INTERFERENCE all over the state, and the Governor is SILENT!... The reason they are cutting off the lines early? TOO MANY MEMBERS OF THE LEOPARDS EATING PEOPLE'S FACES PARTY ARE VOTING," wrote one person with a leopard-eaten face.
