One more story to watch in Pennsylvania, from the Philadelphia Inquirer (UPDATE: the court extended the deadline by one day, per the story here):
Former President Donald Trump’s campaign is planning to file a lawsuit against Bucks County over long lines and early cut-offs at county election offices for voters requesting and casting mail ballots, Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley announced Tuesday night. . . .
Voters have been regularly turned away from lines to request and cast a mail ballot at the county’s election office and two satellite offices before the end of posted voting hours because the lines had grown so long that it would take staff the rest of the posted hours to work through the voters already in line, county officials said. . . .
Republicans argued voters who are in line by the end of posted hours should be allowed to request and cast their mail ballot, like they would be on Election Day. But Pennsylvania law does not clearly state that those in line to request a mail ballot by the 5 p.m. deadline should be allowed to request and cast that ballot.
Pennsylvania Secretary of State Al Schmidt had urged counties to help ensure voters who were in line were able to cast their ballots Tuesday. Ultimately, Bucks County cut off the line for voters requesting and returning a mail ballot around 2:30 p.m., but continued to allow any voter who was in line by 5 p.m. to request a mail ballot.
