Pennsylvania: Voters Forced to Wait Five+ Hours In Line, Vote By iPhone Light
By The Geller Report
Remember, for centuries Americans voted on election day and had the results that night. Other countries do this now as a matter of simple fact. The idea that now we have weeks to vote, innumerable mail in ballots, technology, machines, etc., etc., and yet we won’t have the results for weeks perhaps, tells us that this is all chaos by design for a very obvious reason.
“It should be criminal to force voters to wait five hours in line to cast a ballot. Imagine if this was in Fulton County? Democrats would be apoplectic.” Charlie Kirk

After RNC Lawsuit Extended ‘On-Demand’ Mail-In Voting, Bucks County Pennsylvanians Still Faced Massive Lines
By: Beth Brelje, The Federalist, November 02, 2024:
The Trump campaign and the RNC sued to extend ‘on-demand mail-in voting,’ but voters still waited in lines until hours after the deadline had passed.
People stood in line for hours on Friday at Bucks County, Pennsylvania, election offices waiting for their chance to participate in the election. Some were outraged that the line was so slow and the county did not have more election workers on hand.
“They opened at 8:00,” Pat Poprik, chair of the Bucks County Republican Committee told The Federalist. “People were there at 8:30 and by 12:30 they had not voted. … The average wait was like four or five hours.”
Some social media posts claimed the long lines were purposeful and were evidence of the county attempting to suppress voters, but Poprik does not think so.
“I don’t think it’s voter suppression. I think it was inconvenient. They were not disenfranchised. They were still able to vote, albeit inconvenient and a long time, but they weren’t not allowed. It wasn’t like Tuesday when they put that placard down and said you can’t vote. That was disenfranchisement, and that’s what the judge addressed, and rightly so.”
The Republican National Committee and the Trump campaign went to the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas this week, complaining the county’s action of turning voters away before the 5:00 p.m. deadline on Tuesday violated the election code.
The deadline to apply for a mail-in ballot in Pennsylvania was Tuesday, Oct. 29 at 5:00 p.m., but so many people applied for a mail-in ballot in the days before the deadline — and in many cases, then filled out the ballot on the spot and turned it back into the election worker by hand — that long lines formed.
It was averaging 12 minutes to process each ballot request, Bucks County Spokesman James T. O’Malley previously told The Federalist. County workers estimated how many people they could serve by the 5:00 p.m. deadline Tuesday, then cut off the line before 3:00 p.m., saying anyone after a certain point in the line would not be able to hand in their completed ballot at the desk that day. Anyone still in line could get a mail-in ballot that would be prepared the next day and be available for pickup.
