A Pennsylvania judge has extended early voting in Bucks County, allowing voters to request and return mail ballots in person through Friday. This decision follows a lawsuit from the Trump campaign amid a wave of legal challenges regarding election procedures nationwide.

Currently, 199 cases are pending in 40 states, with both parties preparing for potential post-election lawsuits. The Republican National Committee has mobilized 5,000 volunteer attorneys for Election Day, while Democrats criticize the GOP's legal actions as attempts to undermine election integrity.

Since the 2020 election, Republicans have increased legal challenges and tightened voting rules, citing concerns over election fraud. The RNC has made litigation a central part of its strategy for the upcoming election, aiming to ensure compliance with voting regulations.
