A clumsy and time-consuming early voting option in the nation’s biggest presidential battleground state is creating frustration, leading to hours-long lines and prompting claims of disenfranchisement as voters swamp county offices that are not prepared to handle the influx.
The confusion is partly a result of a Pennsylvania law passed just before the pandemic, and partly from crowds of Republican voters heeding calls by their party and former President Donald Trump to vote early. Trump’s entreaties to his supporters to cast ballots before the Nov. 5 election come after he repeatedly attacked forms of early voting in previous years.
In the seat of suburban Philadelphia’s Bucks County, often seen as a political bellwether, voters waited up to three hours on Tuesday, the final day to apply for a mail ballot.
Why the change from four years ago when relatively few voters tried to apply for early ballots in-person?
“Because he told us to vote early. I was just trying to make it ‘too big to rig,'” said Marlene Burns, 52, repeating one of Trump’s standard lines encouraging his supporters to vote. “So yeah, that’s why I’m voting at the courthouse and wanted to have my vote in person.”
The early voting angst is the latest dustup over voting in Pennsylvania, which has the largest trove of electoral votes of any battleground state and is by far the state most visited by the Democratic and Republican presidential tickets this year. The runup to Election Day in the state has been marked by numerous battles over mail ballots, some landing on the doorstep of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Onesie? That’s what we’re going with? Lol
Autocorrect and old eyes. Clumsy
Pennsylvania results should be tossed. Eff them. Scumbags.
So will “clumsy” now enter the FR lexicon of approved Drive-By Media words, along with “unexpected” and “pounce.”

We’re all suppose to act like this voting thing is on the up and up. Give me a F’ing break.
“In the seat of suburban Philadelphia’s Bucks County, often seen as a political bellwether, voters waited up to three hours on Tuesday, the final day to apply for a mail ballot. “
Now that confuses me. Are they waiting in line to get mail in ballots or are they waiting in line to vote?
Ah, the ever Leftist AP swooping in to try to excuse the Democrat cheating machine. If the issues are due to the law then why aren ‘t we hearing any issues at mostly Democrat polling places and not just Republican majority places. I’ll trust the National Enquirer before the lying AP.
You get a mail in ballot and drop it off in person.
WAITING TO APPLY FOR A MAIL IN BALLOT.....
Thanks. How many times do you have wait in line to do that?
Carful there, we are going to win regardless of the cheat and when we do the dems would love toss the results.
Trump can lose Bucks County and still win Pa. Kamala can’t. Trump’s strength is outside the southeast corner of the state - Philly and suburbs. Bad sign for Harris if GOP voters are mobbing early voting in Pa.

Yup.. “ Trump’s entreaties to his supporters to cast ballots before the Nov. 5 election come after he repeatedly attacked forms of early voting in previous years.”
According to the AP, American Pravda, the issue is President Trump wants his supporters to play by the same rules the rats have been playing by.
Shapiro wants to run for president of the United States and he can’t even run an election in Pennsylvania! But it doesn’t matter anymore you don’t have to be qualified or do anything to organize and run a state. All you have to do is be a Democrat. And let Marc Elias take care of the rest.
Sorry, I don’t know that. But I think it is only once.

We can add “sloppy” to the Democrat lexicon. It’s used when a Dem has clearly broken the law.
