Live election 2024 updates in the Philadelphia region and the focus on Pennsylvania

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is challenging Donald Trump to provide proof after the Republican presidential candidate baselessly claimed there is talk of "massive cheating' in the city.

Trump posted on social media Tuesday afternoon that there is "a lot of talk about massive CHEATING in Philadelphia," despite no evidence to support those claims.

In a statement released Tuesday evening, Krasner said:

"The only talk about massive cheating has come from one of the candidates, Donald J. Trump. There is no factual basis whatsoever within law enforcement to support this wild allegation. We have invited complaints and allegations of improprieties all day.

"If Donald J. Trump has any facts to support his wild allegations, we want them now. Right now. We are not holding our breath."

In another statement, the Pennsylvania Department of State said "Pennsylvania counties, including Philadelphia, are running a safe and secure election."

At the Westampton Municipal Building in Burlington County on Tuesday afternoon, a line snaked out the doors, down the parking lot and into a gate that held county vehicles and equipment.

All the people standing in that long line were waiting to vote. Polling locations across the county experienced long wait times, which was due in part to a technical glitch that happened as polling locations were opening Tuesday morning.

"The machines were down or something wasn't working so they said it was a two-and-a-half hour wait," said Megan Cavanaugh as she waited at a polling location in Cinnaminson.

The tiny building had a long line of people whose parked cars crowded the small neighborhood. Penelope Williams was one of those voters who were surprised to see such a long line when she arrived to cast her ballot. She said an elections worker updated the crowd periodically.

"He was saying everybody wants a paper ballot so it takes a little longer," she said.

Burlington County officials say there were technical glitches early Tuesday morning at several polling locations. Officials could not provide an exact number of how many polling locations were impacted, but they say the issues ranged from connectivity problems to trouble getting the machines up and running.

County officials say the technical issues were not caused by anything "nefarious."

The issues were fixed by mid-morning, however, as a large number of voters continued showing up, the lines kept growing. It led to waits that were more than two hours long in some locations.

Former President Donald Trump baselessly claimed on social media on Tuesday afternoon that there is "a lot of talk about massive CHEATING in Philadelphia," despite no evidence to support those claims.

In fact, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said Tuesday his office does not have reports of anything that looks like voter fraud.

"We do not expect to have it, but if it's there, we want to know about it. We don't want to hear a bunch of crazy fiction later about how things happen," Krasner said.

"If we start to hear about it at nine o'clock after the polls are closed, you should be rightly suspicious of what you are hearing," Krasner continued.

The post comes as Trump has been basely accusing the key battleground state of cheating for days.

ABC News has previously reported on small instances around the state, including multiple counties investigating potential voter fraud registrations. Philadelphia was not one of those counties, according to the attorney general.

Pennsylvania's U.S. Senate race between three-term Democratic Sen. Bob Casey and Republican challenger David McCormick will help determine control of the chamber Tuesday in a battleground state contest that is one of the nation's most expensive this year.

Casey, perhaps Pennsylvania's best-known politician and the son of a former two-term governor, is seeking a fourth term after facing what he has called his toughest reelection challenge yet. Casey, 64, is a stalwart of the state's Democratic Party, having won six statewide elections going back to 1996, including serving as the state's auditor general and treasurer.

McCormick, 59, is making his second run for the Senate after losing narrowly to Dr. Mehmet Oz in 2022's Republican primary. He left his job as CEO of the world's largest hedge fund to run after serving at the highest levels of former President George W. Bush's administration and sitting on Trump's Defense Advisory Board.

The race ran on national themes, from abortion rights to inflation. But it also turned on local ones, too, such as Casey's accusation that McCormick is a rich carpetbagger from Connecticut's ritzy " Gold Coast " - a caricature McCormick helped bring to life by mispronouncing the name of one of Pennsylvania's local beers - trying to buy Pennsylvania's Senate seat.
