Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro dismissed a declare from Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance, wherein the Ohio senator alleged in a submit on the social platform X that voters being turned away on account of lengthy strains in Bucks County was “voter fraud.”
“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 stated 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 stated.
Pennsylvania is a vital battleground state for the candidates. In 2020, President Biden gained the state, whereas Trump gained it in 2016.
A polling combination from The Hill/Determination 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.
