PA: “Judge orders Bucks County to extend mail ballot deadline following Trump legal challenge”

WHYY:

A Pennsylvania judge ordered Bucks County to extend its mail ballot deadline to 5 p.m. Friday.

The order stems from a legal challenge by the Trump campaign, which alleged the county turned away voters who stood in line to request mail ballots before the original Tuesday 5 p.m. deadline.

On Wednesday afternoon, county solicitors filed a request for clarification from the judge on the hours and location for the extended mail ballot voting.

The county released a statement Wednesday noting that the county’s Board of Elections office in Doylestown will be open through Friday for voters to apply for, receive and return an on-demand mail ballot.
