2024 Election: Pennsylvania battleground playing out in Bucks County
Bucks County remains the most purple of Philadelphia's collar counties, and a contentious battleground of its own within the swing state of Pennsylvania.
It was also the scene of a recent voting controversy in the days leading up to Election Day.
A judge ordered the county's on-demand voting deadline extended after a GOP lawsuit claimed officials turned away voters due to extra-long lines.
Early Tuesday morning, residents lined up outside polling locations throughout the county ready to have their voices heard.
"It is really important to get your vote in this time," said resident Sharon Street at Bucks County Community College in Bristol.

Donald Trump or Kamala Harris? Bob Casey or Dave McCormick? Pennsylvania will decide on those pivotal elections and others as voters head to the polls Tuesday.
With 19 electoral votes, Pennsylvania is perhaps the largest swing state of the seven that are considered up for grabs.
Voters in the Keystone State will also cast their ballots in a tight race between incumbent Bob Casey and David McCormick.
