Former President Donald Trump's campaign and the Republican National Committee won a lawsuit against Bucks County, Pa., on Wednesday to extend early voting by three days.

Trump's campaign filed a lawsuit alleging voter suppression on Tuesday.

The deadline to vote early in Pennsylvania was Oct. 29. There were long lines in Bucks County, according to local reports.

While the Pennsylvania Department of State stated that everyone who was in line before 5 p.m. could submit an application for a mail-in ballot, there were allegations that voters were turned away before that time.

RNC Chairman Michael Whatley announced the court victory.

"PENNSYLVANIA LAWSUIT VICTORY: We just won the Trump Campaign/RNC lawsuit against Bucks County, PA. We will now have extended early in-person mail-voting through November 1st — three extra days. We will keep fighting. Go vote! Stay in line!" Whatley posted on X on Wednesday.
