Update: Judge sides with Trump campaign, extends early voting deadline in Bucks County [Video]

Voters seeking mail-in ballots on the final day they were allowed to do so faced long lines at county election office and were turned away before 5 p.m., Trump said.

BUCKS COUNTY, Pa. — Update, 3:40 p.m.: A Pennsylvania judge has sided with Donald Trump’s campaign and agreed to extend an in-person voting option in suburban Philadelphia, the Associated Press reported Wednesday afternoon.

The order came Wednesday after long lines on Tuesday caused voters to complain that they were being disenfranchised by an unprepared election office. 

Judge Jeffrey Trauger said in a one-page order that Bucks County voters who want to apply for an early mail ballot now have until Friday. 

Neighboring Lehigh County on Tuesday asked a judge to extend the deadline there by one day, through Wednesday. The judge agreed.
