Bucks County Sheriff Fred Harran is facing legal action for his partnership with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Harran applied to take part in a federal program known as 287(g), which would give officers the authority to detain illegal immigrants while performing routine police duties. But, the American Civil Liberties Union and Community Justice Project says what he's doing is illegal in Pennsylvania. Steve Loney, the lead attorney representing the ACLU, said, "The sheriff is breaking the law by unilaterally and illegally over the objection of his county commissioners entered into an agreement with federal immigration enforcement to essentially appoint...

A Democratic official in Bucks County, Pennsylvania is facing calls for her arrest following a brazen defense of her vote to defy a court order and count questionable mail-in ballots in the contested U.S. Senate race. Diane Ellis-Marseglia, one of three commissioners who oversee election proceedings for the suburban county north of Philadelphia, told reporters last week that a ruling by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court invalidating certain absentee ballots “doesn’t matter” and that local election officials should count them anyway. The defiant stance comes as Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) is grappling with a last-ditch recount effort despite trailing Republican Dave...

The state Supreme Court reaffirmed its prior decision in a 4–3 ruling Monday that counties cannot count incorrectly dated or undated ballots. The decision singled out the Boards of Elections in Bucks County, Montgomery County, and Philadelphia County, whom they said "SHALL COMPLY with the prior rulings of this Court in which we have clarified" for mail-in and absentee ballots in their Nov. 1 ruling. "Any insinuation that our laws can be ignored or do not matter is irresponsible and does damage to faith in our electoral process," said Shapiro, a Democrat. "The rule of law matters in Pennsylvania. …...

Pennsylvania Supreme Court held Monday that incorrectly dated mail ballots cannot be counted.The court held the ballots “shall not be counted for purposes of the election held” on Nov. 5. The Republican National Committee sued Thursday after several counties decided to count ballots with incorrect dates.

… Currently, Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) is refusing to concede after losing on Election Day, and is indeed trying to steal the election. You don't have to take my word for it; even the liberal media sees it."Before the Nov. 5 election, Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court ruled that provisional ballots must be signed in two required places and that mail-in votes must be dated," the Washington Post editorial board wrote. "Yet elected Democratic officials in Philadelphia and three other counties — Bucks, Centre and Montgomery — voted this week to defy these and other court decisions at the request of lawyers...

Bucks County Commissioners openly defied the Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Thursday by moving to count provisional ballots missing a signature as Democrats and Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) challenge Senator-elect Dave McCormick’s (R-PA) election victory. Bucks County Board of Commissioners Chair Robert J. Harvie Jr. (D) and Vice Chair Diane Ellis-Marseglia (D) decided to count provisional ballots that were missing a signature in one of two places, which officials call “block two” and “block four.” The third commissioner, Gene DiGirolamo (R), was the lone dissenting voice to oppose the Democrats’ challenge to count the ballots.

Bucks County commissioners voted to count ballots lacking proper signatures, violating a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling earlier this year. The three-member board voted two to one to count these illegal ballots in the Senate race recount. “I think we all know that precedent by a court doesn't matter anymore in this country, and people violate laws anytime they want,” Diane Marseglia said. “So for me, if I violate this law, it's because I want a court to pay attention to it.” Board chairman Robert Harviie, Jr., joined Marseglia in voting to accept the ballots that voters signed in one section...

Admitting to breaking the law just before Donald Trump takes over the Department of Justice is a choice, and it was one made by two Pennsylvania election officials in Bucks County, PA. In a shocking video, Democrat Commissioner Diane Marseglia can heard proclaiming that she's going to purposefully ignore multiple court rulings to count illegal votes. At the center of this is a contentious Senate race in which Republican Dave McCormick defeated Democrat incumbent Sen. Bob Casey. Yet, Democrats in Pennsylvania continue to try to manufacture votes to flip the result. If you want to know what rigging an election...

Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt resigned from his contributing columnist role at The Washington Post on Friday after storming off the newspaper’s live show over a disagreement with his colleagues. Hewitt’s resignation came after an appearance on “First Look,” the Post’s live show hosted by Jonathan Capehart, alongside Ruth Marcus, an associate editor and columnist at the Post, during a discussion over former President Donald Trump legal efforts in battleground states. “Is it me, or does it seem like, this week, Donald Trump is laying the groundwork for contesting the election by complaining that cheating was taking place in Pennsylvania...

There is reportedly a five-alarm fire in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. This area will decide the 2024 election. Donald Trump must win here. He split with Hillary Clinton in 2016 and won the state. While historically an evenly split county, the voter registration advantage has tilted toward the Republicans. Shockingly, that coincides with some administrative issues at election sites that some allege are intentional. The Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee were incensed that voters were reportedly turned away during the early voting process. They sued, and a Pennsylvania judge sided with them, extending the deadline until yesterday. Even then,...

HAPPENING NOW: Voters are waiting 6 *hours* in line to vote in Levittown, PA, a Republican stronghold, because of apparent staffing issues.

Scott Presler is also reporting issues in Quakertown where Trump supporters are being forced to wait hours to vote. "Bucks County elections officials did the bare minimum to comply with court’s order to provide voting access through 5PM today," Trump campaign's James Blair said. "They staffed some offices with just 1 or...

... Thousands of Pennsylvania voters received a text message this weekend that falsely claimed that they had already voted in the Nov. 5 election. ...

Voter anger is rising in Pennsylvania’s Erie County after the second mishap in this voting season led to some residents not getting ballots they requested. Earlier this month, nearly 300 Erie County voters were sent their own mail-in ballot and another voter’s ballot, as well, according to Go Erie. That led Joe Morris, political science department chair at Mercyhurst University, to say this was a bad place for a mistake to take place, according to Your Erie. “To have a problem in Pennsylvania is bad. To have a problem in Pennsylvania’s swing-iest swing county is absolutely horrible,” he said. Board...

A shocking scene reportedly unfolded at a satellite election office in South Park Ice Rink in Bethel Park, PA, where early voters, who had been waiting for hours, witnessed ‘vanloads’ of ‘non-English-speaking citizens’ allegedly escorted to the front by “translators” to cast their ballots. According to X user Emma Cawwod, at least “three buses” arrived, with individuals being guided in by representatives from “Vote Today PA,” a vote mobilization group funded by the progressive organization Working Families Power, which advocates for causes like “economic fairness, racial justice, gender equity, climate sustainability.” Some of these individuals were seen wearing hooded sweatshirts...

On Monday, just eight days away from Election Day, Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt received a letter from an attorney for the Republican National Committee. It contained a number of reminders about how voters should be treated in the state as they attempt to cast their ballots. "Voters consistently report to us that at Boards of Election Offices across the Commonwealth, they are told that 'computers are down,' the site will be closing early, they are not accepting any more voters, and that mail ballots will not be counted. Pennsylvanians deserve the same effortless experience boasted about by...

In Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Democrats are going around polling locations with badges posing as poll workers. At the same time, election officials keep telling long lines of voters to go home and come back later.. I thought Democrats wanted literally every vote to count. It sounds to me like they are panicking about the strong Republican wave incoming and are trying everything in their power to suppress it. This guy's badge says "Voter Protection," which any reasonable voter would assume means they're a poll worker. If you live in Pennsylvania, they CANNOT deny you the privilege to vote. Remain in...
