The Trump-Vance campaign's lawsuit against Bucks County led to an extension for in-person absentee voting, which is a "huge win" for election integrity efforts, the campaign said.

Bucks County voters will have until Friday, Nov. 1 to apply for, receive, or turn in a mail-in ballot, following a court order that was issued Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 30, according to prior reporting by Daily Voice

Judge Jeffrey Trauger entered the order following a lawsuit filed by the Trump campaign, Senate candidate Dave McCormick, and the Republican National Convention that same morning.

"The Pennsylvania Court has ordered that Bucks County must extend its in-person absentee voting (Pennsylvania's early voting) through November 1," the Trump-Vance campaign said in a news release issued Wednesday, Oct. 30. "This is a huge win for President Trump's election integrity efforts."

Bucks County announced the extended deadline via a news release.

"In accordance with today’s court ruling, we are pleased to be able to offer additional days for those who are still seeking to vote on-demand," the news release states. 

"We are thankful to our Board of Elections staff for their professionalism, and we ask that County residents extend to them consideration, understanding and kindness while they do the important work of conducting a free and fair election," according to the news release.

The news release ends with a plea to the Pennsylvania General Assembly for "much needed reform and clarity in the election law and to codify what is being decided in courts around the Commonwealth."

A motion to reconsider or clarify the court order has been filed by the Bucks County Board of Elections, according to court documents obtained by Daily Voice.
