Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro dismissed a declare from Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance, by which the Ohio senator alleged in a submit on the social platform X that voters being turned away as a consequence of lengthy strains in Bucks County was “voter fraud.”
“That’s just more bull—- from J.D. Vance,” Shapiro informed Fox Information’s Bret Baier, who requested the governor about “some lines that were shut down by, it looked like Democratic operatives who stopped a line in Bucks County.”
“Remember, Bret, our system is run by Republican and Democratic clerks of elections in our 67 counties. It’s overseen by my secretary of state, Bret, who is a Republican,” Shapiro mentioned on Thursday.
“I think everybody needs to take a deep breath and understand that it is our fellow Pennsylvanians who are running these elections, and we will, again, have a free and fair, safe and secure election,” Shapiro added.
Vance made a submit on the social platform X on Thursday claiming that some voters being turned away was “voter fraud.”
“The issue was resolved so a legal, eligible voter could be counted in this election. And actually, I was pleased to see the Trump campaign acknowledge the work that myself and Secretary [Al] Schmidt are doing here in Pennsylvania,” Shapiro mentioned.
Pennsylvania is an important battleground state for the candidates. In 2020, President Biden received the state, whereas Trump received it in 2016.
A polling mixture from The Hill/Choice Desk HQ (DDHQ) confirmed Trump outpacing Vice President Harris in Pennsylvania, 48.7 % to 47.8 %.
The Hill has contacted Vance’s press workforce for remark.
