After being ordered by a judge to extend early voting until today at 5:00 PM, election officials in Bucks County, Pennsylvania lashed out by manning voting stations with the minimum required staff. Their intention appears to be to dissuade voters, particularly supporters of Donald Trump, from having reasonable access to voting booths.
According to Collin Rugg:
Voters are reporting a 5+ hour wait line in Bucks County, Pennsylvania after early voting was extended until today, Friday, at 5 pm. Blatant voter suppression.
“Bucks County elections officials did the bare minimum to comply with court’s order to provide voting access through 5PM today,” Trump campaign’s @JamesBlairUSA said.
“They staffed some offices with just 1 or 2 people, ensuring long lines.”

As Rugg later reported, they had two days to fix this and still “missed” on the expectations. He also noted that the only way for Trump to win is to win big. “Too big to rig” has been a mantra of the campaign and continues to be the most likely course for a Trump victory.
Citizens are working together to mitigate losses due to long lines. Pizzas were ordered at one location so hungry voters wouldn’t have to leave.
