Voting Legal Challenges and Issues Before Election

A Pennsylvania judge ruled in favor of the Trump campaign to extend mail-in voting in Bucks County until Friday after reports of voters being turned away due to long lines. The Trump campaign, backed by the Republican National Committee and Senate candidate David McCormick, argued that voters were disenfranchised by the early closure of county election offices. A group of activists in Pennsylvania is challenging mail ballot applications using postal data, claiming some voters have moved and are ineligible, which voting rights groups contest as an attempt to disenfranchise voters. In Whitman County, Washington, hundreds of ballots are missing following USPS processing, prompting officials to urge voters to check their ballot status and request replacements. Maricopa County, Arizona, has received over one million early ballots, underscoring its importance as a swing region in the upcoming election.
