Voters in a key county in swing state Pennsylvania waited in long lines on Election Day and said they haven't seen such a high turnout in previous election years.

Most of the voters that Just the News interviewed in the county said they are supporting President Trump. Bucks County went for Democrat Hillary Clinton by less than 1% in 2016.

Voters in Langhorne, which is part of Bucks County, north of Philadelphia, stood in long lines to cast a ballot Tuesday
.

Langhorne Borough and Langhorne Manor voters told Just the News that Tuesday's turnout in the county was higher than previous election cycles. 

Langhorne Borough Mayor Robert Byrne said there are "definitely" more Pennsylvanians voting in this election cycle compared to 2016.

"It's nice to see everybody getting involved in voting and that's a great thing," he said. 

Byrne said there's a "silent" Trump vote in Pennsylvania that some polls might have missed during the election cycle.

A voter who identified himself only as Jim said he voted for Trump on Tuesday because of his policies, not his personality.

"I went for Trump against my will," he said. "I don't like the man. But I like the policies. But I'm fearful of having a Democrat to run the White House, the House and the Senate."

A woman who identified herself as Olivia and as a first-time voter said she voted for Trump but declined to explain why.

"I actually don't want to get into that," she said.

A voter who identified herself as Megan said the economy and jobs influenced her to vote for Trump.

"I was able to find two jobs while he's been president," she said. 

A voter named Eileen said she voted for Democratic candidate Biden because she "couldn't vote for Trump."

"I'm not really happy about Biden either, but I had no choice so I selected him," she said.

The polls close in Pennsylvania at 8 p.m.
