‘I feel very powerful and very scared’: Pennsylvanians face pressure of voting in key swing state

The state has 19 electoral votes and Donald Trump and Kamala Harris held a blitz of rallies on eve of election

To celebrate his anniversary this year, Phil Haegele joined the back of a long line at a polling station with his wife on a warm autumn afternoon and waited to cast his ballot for Donald Trump.

It was the first time that Haegele, a 47-year-old plumber, cast an early ballot. But he had heard on the radio that a judge had extended early voting in Bucks county, a battleground in south-eastern Pennsylvania where he lives. He proceeded to get bombarded with “probably 50 text messages” encouraging him to come out and vote, so he did.
