Pennsylvania election officials prepare for potential legal challenges ahead of 2024 vote

In Pennsylvania, election officials are preparing for a potential surge of legal challenges as the 2024 presidential election approaches. Early voting is underway, but officials are also readying for litigation similar to what occurred after the 2020 election. Bucks County has faced multiple lawsuits since 2020 and is now documenting its election processes to counter any future legal claims. The Republican National Committee has already filed significant pre-election challenges in state courts. Changes have been made to speed up vote counting this year, with officials required to work continuously once counting begins on Election Day. Counties are also collaborating to share legal resources in anticipation of possible disputes.
