LITITZ, Pennsylvania — Former President Donald Trump raised concerns about election integrity in Pennsylvania two days before polls close, calling for statewide reforms before the next election.
During a rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania, a relatively low-energy Trump, who did host three events on Saturday, criticized extended voting hours in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, a crucial county closer to Philadelphia that supported Trump in 2016 and President Joe Biden in 2020. Republicans sought the extension of hours this week.
Striking a note that did not project confidence, Trump complained that Democrats dismissed election skeptics as conspiracy theorists.
“If nothing comes out of this whole damn thing, it’s going to teach you you damn well better get a different system,” Trump told the crowd Sunday.
As election officials try to manage timeline expectations for Nov. 5, including in Arizona, where it could take 12 days to count the state’s votes, Trump scrutinized voter identification laws, voting machines, electronic ballots, and results being announced after 9 p.m.
“For future elections, I won’t be even a part of it, but you want to damn well go to paper ballots, you ought to go to voter ID, and you want to have the election over by 9 o’clock,” he said.
