A judge quickly issued a ruling on Wednesday in favor of the Trump campaign in a lawsuit in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, extending early on-demand voting in the purple, populous county until Friday.
Judge Jeffrey Trauger, who was appointed to the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas by former Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf, wrote in a one-page order that election officials in the county wrongly turned away voters who were waiting in line for on-demand mail-in ballots, a violation of Pennsylvania’s election code.
The Trump campaign, along with the Republican National Committee and Republican Senate candidate David McCormick’s campaign, filed a complaint Wednesday morning alleging that several voters were turned away at Bucks County election offices in recent days “because of long lines and closing of sites earlier than posted hours.”
