The Trump/Vance campaign is suing Bucks County, Pennsylvania after last-minute voters trying to participate in the county's mail-in ballot voting on-demand process faced long lines on the final possible day to do so.
Pennsylvania--a must-win state for both candidates--doesn't have early voting on voting machines like other states. Instead, the state offers the closest thing to it, which is mail ballot voting on demand. It requires voters to request a mail-in ballot in person at their county's elections office. The voter then receives the ballot in minutes, fills it out in person, and returns it, all in the same trip.
This year, the last-minute MAGA push to try to get those ballots resulted in long lines and caused a major backlog at a voting location in Bucks County. Like most polling locations, the staff is limited, as are the resources.
It takes an average of 10-12 minutes to process the application and ballot per person. The line for the on-demand process was cut around 2:45 p.m. on Tuesday. The county continued accepting applications for mail-in ballots until 5 p.m. That option was also available online.
Bucks County Commissioner and Chair of the County Board of Elections Bob Harvie told CBS News that the lines were wrapped around the block because "It is a very cumbersome process. We don't have limitless resources here," Harvie said. "We have a fixed number of staff. We have a fixed budget."
Interestingly, there are no current reports of Democrats bringing any similar lawsuits against the county.
