This arrest has raised serious questions about how polling operations are being managed in Pennsylvania, particularly in the lead-up to the election. The controversy didn’t end with Biancaniello’s detention. She accused local Democratic election workers of actively steering Republican voters away from voting locations, further complicating the process for in-person voting.
Biancaniello revealed that voters were sent to a satellite office in Chester Heights, where they encountered yet another roadblock. “In fact, the election worker told people in line to go to the Chester Heights satellite office because the line was shorter there,” she explained. “Do you know what happened when they got to the Chester Heights office to vote in person? They were told that they ran out of mib applications. This is voter suppression in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. I did nothing wrong except encourage people to stay in line and vote. So they arrested me. VOTE!”
The arrest, coupled with these allegations of misleading voters, has prompted Republican leaders to demand swift action. RNC Chairman Michael Whatley weighed in on the matter, calling for an immediate investigation into the handling of the polling sites. “With only eight days until Election Day, Pennsylvanians across the commonwealth deserve every option available to exercise their civic duty. But voters are being turned away, given faulty information, and told their ballots will not be counted. This is nothing short of voter suppression, and we demand immediate action to ensure every legal vote can be cast and counted properly.”
Concerns have mounted as reports from Pennsylvania voters continue to pour in, citing technical issues at polling locations, early closures, and disruptions in the mail-in ballot process. A press release from the RNC detailed these alarming developments, with voters claiming that computers were down, polling sites were closing early, and mail ballots were being rejected. The statement pointed out the inconsistency between these challenges and the voting experience boasted by Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who had recently posted on social media about casting his mail-in ballot without any issues.
“We have received numerous concerning reports from Pennsylvania voters that computers are down, polling sites are closing early and are not accepting any more voters, and that mail ballots will not be counted,” the press release stated. “This is especially alarming considering the state’s Governor, Josh Shapiro, posted on ‘X’ that he cast his mail ballot at a Montgomery County Satellite Office without a problem. Pennsylvanians deserve the same effortless experience boasted about by Governor Shapiro, but county offices appear unable or unwilling to provide it.”
The situation has escalated, with the RNC now calling for immediate intervention from state officials. The party is demanding that Secretary of State Al Schmidt take urgent steps to ensure that every voter can cast their ballot without obstruction. With the last day to request a mail-in ballot fast approaching, the pressure is on to rectify these issues.

“Tomorrow, October 29, 2024, is the last day to request a mail-in ballot in person at a county election office,” the press release emphasized. “No voter should be turned away, told an office is closing early, or told they cannot be accommodated if they appear during the posted business hours. We are asking Secretary Schmidt to provide relief immediately – supporting a ‘free, fair, safe, and secure’ election as he promised.”
As the nation watches closely, the unfolding situation in Pennsylvania raises critical questions about the accessibility and fairness of the election process. The arrest of Val Biancaniello has become a flashpoint, highlighting the tensions surrounding voter rights and election integrity in the final days before Election Day.
