The Trump campaign is suing the Bucks County Board of Elections in Pennsylvania, alleging it “turned away voters,” according to a filing in the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas.
ABC News reported the campaign filed a writ of summons Tuesday. The filing did not contain any allegations or specific claims.
According to a Bucks County spokesperson, the county “has been made aware that litigation may be filed tomorrow. We have no comment at this time,” the spokesperson told ABC News.
Lawyers entered an appearance on behalf of the county on Wednesday, per the docket.
Bucks County had previously been accused of using “suppressive and intimidating” tactics.
This includes claims of voters being turned away and the lines to vote closing early.
Bucks County officials disputed those claims.
“Contrary to what is being depicted on social media, if you are in line by 5 p.m. for an on-demand mail-in ballot application, you will have the opportunity to submit your application for a mail-in ballot,” the county said in a statement on X, formerly Twitter.
County officials said there was some “miscommunication” on site when voters applying for on-demand ballots were “briefly told they could not be accommodated.”
The county then said those voters were allowed to submit their applications.
The secretary of state’s office echoed asked for voters to “be patient.”
“Earlier today, we spoke with Bucks County election officials who assured us that every registered voter who goes to their county election office by 5 p.m. today will be provided an opportunity to apply for their mail ballot,” the post on X read. “Please be patient with all county election office staff as they work hard to ensure every registered voter is able to vote in this election.”
