Shortly after polls opened on Election Day, Republicans in Pennsylvania filed a new lawsuit in federal court challenging the Montgomery County officials' process for handling absentee ballots that arrived before Nov. 3. CNNelection

From CNN's Ellie Kaufman

Franklin County, Ohio, which includes the city of Columbus, will use paper poll books to check voters in today, Franklin County Board of Elections Public Information Officer Aaron Sellers told CNN. Early voting ended in the county at 2 p.m. yesterday, but because of long lines, Sellers said they were not finished with voting until about 3:30 p.m. After voting concluded, there was trouble updating the electronic poll book file, Sellers said. “There was an issue where we couldn’t determine that 100 percent of it was downloaded onto poll pads. Because of that, we decided to go with paper poll books,” today, Sellers said.

ลุ้นไป ทรัมป์หรือไบเดน

Sorry JoshShapiroPA These fuckers won’t let you get a day off.

The only path to victory is CHEATING. GOP. Zero principles

ProjectLincoln Waste of time

Democracies count all votes

iamLucretiaMott So far GOP is 0-6 in these nuisance suits.

ProjectLincoln Trump & Republicans plan to use the courts to disenfranchise eligible American voters.

Montgomery County is one of the most affluent counties in all of Pennsylvania if not number one. If they think they need to challenge votes there...they’re in trouble.

ProjectLincoln This is all the GOP has. Sad!

What a bunch of LOSERS

Voter suppression. It's the Trump way. ☹️👎

ProjectLincoln Because of course they did. They’re not fighting to win the vote. They’re fighting to suppress it.

ProjectLincoln They have no shame!

And this is why the Senate has to turn blue today.

ProjectLincoln And more voter suppression.......

ProjectLincoln Chick, chick, chick, chick .. CHICKEN! blatant voter suppression attempts .. how the heck can they say they’re a part of a democracy and then spend tome and money trying to exclude votes? Corrupt as f**k

Voter suppression it's the Republican way

ProjectLincoln Oh Jesus, Republicans, what else will you be challenging and filing lawsuits after lawsuits? These are actions when you know you're losing. I swear that you'll challenge ballots with coffee stains on them, huh? 😃😂

Disgusting!!!! Vote them all out!!!!

ProjectLincoln Those Republicunt, pricks. Of course.

Interesting ... all those 'states rights' Republicans rushing off to *federal* courts to complain about how states are conducting elections.

Maybe they shouldn't of slowed the mail down

ProjectLincoln They're not even alleging that the votes are fraudulent in any way. They're just blatantly trying to disenfranchise thousands of people over whatever procedural technicalities they can come up with. Totally disgusting and anti-American. GOPComplicitTraitors

ProjectLincoln Lie, cheat, sue, steal. That is Trump's election strategy.

ProjectLincoln So, don't count the votes after, don't count the votes before...only count the votes for trump on election day.

ProjectLincoln They keep losing but keep trying. This again is an act of desperation; an act of the losing side.

ProjectLincoln Ok. So now they have a problem with the absentee ballots that arrived BEFORE Election Day?!? First it was counting ballots after Election Day. WTF!

ProjectLincoln JoeBiden Dear Mr. Biden, It is evident contrary to what the polls say that you have won the election by a landslide due to the millions of voters who are not counted for by the census report. I worry that if realDonaldTrump wins, it is because he cheated and riots will rise.

Why so the Republicans want to keep everyone’s votes from counting? Oh yeah, the Republicans have always been about voter suppression! They were convicted of it and were only recently off surveillance!

. the ultimate sad part is that some Americans actually think that they have a democracy CNNelection

ProjectLincoln GOP is really doing everything they can cheat their way to a win

Pathetic

ProjectLincoln More VoterSuppression

ProjectLincoln When this landslide is over , the Republican Party should be illegal !

morgfair Scared of the Vote. That's antithetical to the Democratic process. 😡

ProjectLincoln Hey PAGOP as a pennsylvania voter this is not cool. Stop playing games and letthepeopledecide EveryVoteCounts

ProjectLincoln I hope marceelias has some redbull on standby.

~ the party of suppression, regression and oppression.

ProjectLincoln realDonaldTrump’s whole strategy has nothing to do with earning votes, it’s all about obstruction.

ProjectLincoln Why is it that only Republicans are challenging votes and trying to stifle democracy? Isn't the point of democracy to encourge as many people to vote and be heard as possible?

ProjectLincoln Only in blue counties

It’s very clear that the Trump campaign sees PA as the deciding state. They must feel good in the other battlegrounds.

ProjectLincoln If the polls showed Trump leading in the polls in this state none of this would be going on! They need to educate themselves on how voting works. This is the year 2020!

Them fn republikunts just keep trying don't they? Why would someone want to take away someone's right to vote 🙄

Bullies never learn when to quit

Wow, they are desperate! The fear smells so sweet 😉

itsthepandemicstupid Jamescarville

Like the people who say, 'I'm not against immigration, I support LEGAL immigration,' and then tacitly endorse administrative tactics to keep out the groups they don't want.

Why are republicans so against democracy?

And his base has no problems with this. No problems with the Texas issue. I fear for our democracy.

They are SO DUMB SCARED, that they don’t know what to do!

What I don’t get is how many republican votes will be lost by challenging .Couldn’t they be 60% republican ballots ?They’re willing to lose votes that could be for them ?Or are they so desperate and know that it will be mostly Democrat votes and willing to lose the few, corrupt !

Republicans just do not want people to vote. It's nothing to do with anything but suppressing the vote.

We need to publicly shame these Lawyers

These Republicans are ridiculous. This alone should tell everyone what they need to know about the Republican Party. They need to be voted out of office. From the local offices to the presidency.

Another reason to vote BidenHarris2020

The Republican Party is morecorrupt by the day.

Repugnuts will always cheat to win!!!!!

Scum bags

What are they Afraid of.🤣🤣

Interesting, so many comments about voter suppression. Registered voter in MontCo PA. Sent my absentee ballot in and somehow it disappeared. No way to track it. No effective response from the county board of elections. This is a big deal for voter rights. Elections2020

CountEveryVote

Four years ago America made a mistake, every nation does; it happens. Four years later the nations believe and trust that America will fix the mistake on Nov 3rd; when America goes to the polls. But make no mistake, today, the world will be watching!

I think after we get through this whole trump thing we need to make voting rules and regulations the same across the board. We shouldn't be making it harder for registered people to vote.

They are bullying their way to a win!

Desperados running scared

They are scared....lawyer have become like the boy that cried wolf. They have lost all credibility. Over paid to just argue...what a job.

I apologize if this is a stupid question. But is this normal? For either party to do this?

Please help a brother, he is currently in a music competition he needs only 1k SUBCRIBERS to get qualified......... please it's totally free to SUBSCRIBE.👇👇👇

WTF?

I don’t think they’ll win.

Wow!!

Of course they did.
