A Trump voter was pulled out of line and arrested at a polling place Monday for alleged shenanigans, but she claims she did nothing wrong.

The official narrative is that Trump supporter and RNC delegate Valerie Biancaniello “harassed” voters at the polling place in Delaware County and proceeded to tell “them who to vote for.”

Watch her arrest below:

However, both Biancaniello and the Trump campaign have disputed this narrative and claimed that all she did was to try and put a halt to voter suppression that she’d witnessed while at the polling place.

“Today in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, Val Biancaniello was arrested for encouraging people to stay in line and vote,” Trump’s campaign said in a statement. “Election officials were telling voters to leave, without any reason, and actively suppressing their right to vote.”

In a Twitter/X post, Biancaniello recalled election workers telling voters in line to go vote elsewhere. There was just one problem.

“They arrested me and I didn’t break any laws. I encouraged people to stay in line and vote because the Democrats were discouraging voters from in person voting today in Delaware County,” she explained in the post. “In fact, the election worker told people in line to go to the Chester Heights satellite office because the line was shorter there.”

“Do you know what happened when they got to the Chester Heights office to vote in person? They were told that they ran out of mib applications. This is voter suppression in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. I did nothing wrong except encourage people to stay in line and vote. So they arrested me. VOTE!” she added.

Look:

Speaking with the Delaware Valley Journal, Biancaniello offered up a few more details about what happened.

“I have been encouraging people to go vote in person at the government center and to drop their ballot into the drop box located in the lobby,” she said. “And I was getting complaints from people that the line was very long and they felt that they were being discouraged from voting by the workers at the Election Bureau.”

“So, all I did was go up there and tell them, because I knew a lot of the people, to stay in line. They were there in the first place because I told them to vote early. So, I said to them, ‘Please stay in line. Do not get discouraged. Your vote is important.’” she added.

When she heard an election official tell the voters that they should consider going to the Chester Heights office, she was stunned.

“I heard it with my own ears,” she recalled. “Like, is this guy kidding me?”

One college-age woman went ahead and went to the Chester Heights office, and the results were as expected.

“Well, she comes back and tells me that she went to Chester Heights only to be told they were out of mail-in ballot applications,” Biancaniello said. “It’s a voting center. All you need to do is print more. This girl was so shocked, she came back and told me. And as she’s telling me, a Democrat woman got out of line and accused me of electioneering.”

Though she denied the allegation, soon after local police approached her and demanded she leave. Biancaniello, a GOP delegate, refused.

“I said, ‘No, I have every right to be here,’” she recalled. “I wasn’t going to abandon these folks. I waited with them. I said, ‘I’m not leaving.’”

The officers then accused her of helping people fill out their ballots. She denied that as well. They also accused her of portraying herself as an election official. She denied that too.

They of course didn’t believe her and proceeded to pat her down, detain her in a holding area, charge her with disorderly conduct, and then finally release her.

As noted earlier, the official narrative is completely different.

“On Monday, October 28, 2024, an incident occurred at the Voter Service Center located at the Government Center Building in Media, PA, resulting in the arrest and removal of a woman who, according to multiple eyewitnesses, was disruptive, belligerent, and attempting to influence voters waiting in line,” Delaware County spokesperson Ryan Herlinger told the Journal.

“Her behavior prompted several complaints from those in line. Delaware County Park Police—who provide security for the Government Center Building—were on-site and responded promptly to the disturbance,” he added.
