GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign filed a lawsuit against Bucks County, Pennsylvania for alleged voter suppression.
The deadline to request a mail-in ballot was Oct. 29. There were long lines at the Bucks County administration, according to local reports.
Bucks County Commissioner Bob Harvie said lines were long because it was taking about 10 minutes to process applications, according to CBS News.
While the Pennsylvania Department of State stated that everyone who was in line before 5 p.m. could submit an application for a mail-in ballot, there were allegations that voters were turned away before that time.
“Pennsylvanians: we hear you and we have filed a lawsuit,” the Republican National Convention Chairman announced during a rally. “Now get out and VOTE for President Trump!”
The Trump campaign said in an emailed statement that voters were being turned away as early as 2:30 p.m.
“The Pennsylvania Department of State made clear if voters are in line at a county elections office by 5:00PM, the counties MUST give voters the opportunity to apply for their mail-in ballot,” the Trump campaign said. “Pennsylvania voters were turned away as early as 2:30PM.”
