DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Voters in a bellwether suburban Philadelphia county courted heavily by the presidential candidates had their last chance Friday to apply for a mail-in ballot , as a county clear across the state gave voters who didn't receive their mail-in ballot another chance to get one. A judge in Erie County, in Pennsylvania's northwestern corner, ruled Friday in a lawsuit brought by the Democratic Party that the estimated 15,000 people who applied for, but did not receive a mail-in ballot, can go into the county elections office and get a replacement.
The deadline to apply for a mail-in ballot has passed in Pennsylvania, the biggest, most vote-rich presidential battleground state this year and has by far the most visits by Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris . But, now, Erie County's elections office will be open every day through Monday for voters to go in, cancel the mail-in ballot they didn't receive in the mail and get another one over the counter, said Cliff Levine, a lawyer for the state Democratic Party. In suburban Philadelphia's Bucks County, a court set a deadline of 5 p.
m. for voters there to apply for and receive a mail-in ballot. About 100 people were in line as of 4 p.
m. at the county's elections office in Doylestown, and reported that the process was taking about two hours. The deadline is a three-day extension, granted in response to a Trump campaign lawsuit alleging that voters faced disenfranchisement when they were turned away by.
