Gov. Josh Shapiro shot down false election claims about Pennsylvania on Fox News Thursday night, blaming former President Donald Trump for putting out "a lot of misinformation."
The Philly Inquirer reports Fox News anchor Bret Baier pressed Shaprio on Bucks County, where a Pennsylvania judge — following a legal challenge from the Trump campaign — extended the deadline for residents to apply for and cast their mail ballots in person until 5 p.m. Friday.
The original deadline was Tuesday, but when the number of voters exceeded what county election officials could process that day, they began cutting off people in line hours before the deadline
"The issue was resolved. So, a legal eligible voter could be counted in this election," Shapiro said.

Baier pressed Shapiro on comments made by Trump's running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R., Ohio), who falsely claimed Democrats were "depriving people of the right to vote."
"Yes, that's just more bulls– from JD Vance," Shapiro said. "Our system is run by Republican and Democratic clerks of elections in our 67 counties. It's overseen by my Secretary of State, who is a Republican."
"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.
