A Republican Party official was arrested at a polling station in Pennsylvania on Monday after she repeatedly encouraged voters to stay in line despite the lengthy wait.
On Monday, a video of the arrest of a woman at a polling station in Delaware County went viral. "Do not get out of line," the woman insists as several officers place her in handcuffs. They then escort her out of the area where many people were standing in line.
"Wow!" the man filming the arrest repeatedly states. "You locked her up? That is insane, man!"
"That's crazy."
The woman arrested on the video was later identified as Val Biancaniello, a Pennsylvania Republican Party state committeewoman.
'President Trump's supporters should not be intimidated at the polls.'
Following the incident, Biancaniello claimed on X that an official with the Delaware County Bureau of Elections had told people gathered at the polling station that they "should only be in this line if [they] have a pressing reason to vote."
Biancaniello called such a directive "VOTER SUPPRESSION." "No one requires a 'pressing need' to vote by mail," her X comment continued, "that is why it is called 'no excuse mail in voting.'"
Biancaniello also alleged that an elections worker warned voters that the lines could be hours long, ostensibly in an effort to dissuade them from staying. "Can you imagine if we said this to a long line of Democrat voters?" she asked rhetorically.
Biancaniello claimed she was marched out of the area, handcuffed to a bench, and later released with a citation for disorderly conduct.
"I will fight that. I broke NO laws. I encouraged people to stay in line and vote. There are plenty of witnesses who know the truth," her X comment added.
A woman standing in line alleged in the video of the arrest that Biancaniello had been "influencing people," but the man filming the video denied that accusation. "She is not influencing people," he immediately replied. "She is not at all."
Pennsylvania law forbids voter intimidation.
RNC co-chair Michael Whatley shared the video on X, claiming that it showed the left engaging in "voter suppression."
"A supporter of President Trump's was arrested today for encouraging people to stay in the early voting line and cast their ballots freely in Pennsylvania," he wrote. "This follows reports from across the commonwealth that voters are being turned away in conservative areas. This is voter suppression from the left. Do not let them turn you away. GO VOTE!"
The Trump campaign likewise released a statement calling the incident an example of "voter suppression."
"Election officials in Pennsylvania must immediately secure a fair and transparent election for Pennsylvania voters," the statement said in part. "President Trump's supporters should not be intimidated at the polls."
Neither Biancaniello nor the Delaware County Bureau of Elections responded to a request for comment from Blaze News.

Democrats In North Carolina’s Helene Disaster Area Block Emergency Early Voting Locations
Democrats blocking the early voting sites gives credence to concerns that the left is trying to suppress the vote in the deep-red area.How left-wing billionaires INFECTED Christianity to suppress the religious vote
In a shocking survey by the Barna Group, it’s been revealed that 32 million church-attending Christians are planning to sit this election out and not show up at the ballot box.
“There’s a really important data point in that Barna research, and it’s that it’s not just Christians that are sitting out, it is regular churchgoers, so it’s not just the people who culturally identify as Christians,” bestselling author and Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham tells Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show.”
But why is it happening?
“One, obviously, we have to acknowledge the abortion issue. I think the Republican Party’s conflicting messaging on this cycle has depressed enthusiasm a little bit,” Basham explains.
“But, there’s also something else that I think is more significant going on and that is the fact that a lot of this voter suppression, lack of enthusiasm, has been deliberately orchestrated by left secular foundations and billionaires,” she continues.
Basham believes “they have been working for the last few years to try to convince Christians, ‘Hey, you don’t need to vote. It’s not important that you play a part in the political process. In fact, it could be political idolatry.’”
One example is a Bible study curriculum called “The Afterparty,” which was created by David French, the editor in chief of Christianity Today, and a Democrat Party Duke Divinity professor.
“All three never-Trumpers, two of whom are supporting Kamala Harris openly,” Basham says. “They created this supposed political Bible study curriculum to go into conservative churches, conservative college campuses. There was an effort to get it on 185 conservative college campuses, and it teaches Christians that politics are really complex.”
“‘It’s not always clear who you should vote for, and what we really need to do is turn down the rhetoric, and, in fact, we don’t know how we should vote except on the issue of alleged racial injustice,’” she says, giving an example.
“It makes it pretty clear when you read the curriculum who they want you to vote for, and that curriculum is exclusively funded by hard left secular foundations, Rockefeller philanthropy advisers, and the Hewlett Foundation, which also backed Planned Parenthood and transgender initiatives for youth and things of that nature,” Basham explains, adding, “These are not Christians, and they are funding these kind of operations in order to, I would say, really suppress that Christian vote.”
