Pennsylvania and its 19 electoral college votes are critical for either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris to win the 270 votes necessary to secure the White House.
In 2020, the results here were not known until 11 a.m. local time on the Saturday after Election Day.
Pennsylvania won’t begin counting absentee ballots until Election Day itself, which could delay the results of the election there.
Polls in the crucial state will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time.
And the state is considered a true toss-up for both candidates. Presidential polling averages show Harris and Trump within one point of each other with no clear leader.
The applications in question were dropped off in two batches, according to county election officials. Concerns were raised during staff’s normal process reviewing and entering applications into the system.
Officials reiterated that the systems in place worked, and Lancaster voters can remain confident in the county’s election.
More than 1.2 million people have already voted in Pennsylvania.
The allegations of voter fraud come as now over 33 million Americans have cast their votes nationwide, according to the University of Florida’s Election Lab.
About 17 million votes were cast via mail while 15 million voted in person.
So far, from around the country, 64 million mail-in ballots have been requested.
