There's usually more to the story. After digging around I found this:
"Asked to comment, Ryan Herlinger, a spokesperson for Delaware County said, “Four witnesses in line voluntarily provided statements to Park Police, reporting that the individual in question was harassing voters in line and telling them who to vote for. Upon hearing the commotion, Park Police responded and instructed the woman to stop bothering voters and leave the area. When the woman refused, she was cited for disorderly conduct. Ensuring safe, accessible, and respectful voting environments for all residents is our top priority, and we remain committed to facilitating a fair and secure election process.”
I don't think they were in the wrong. People need to leave voters the hell alone, especially if they have to stand in a long line and can't walk away from the annoyance.
They don't need anyone telling them to stay in line or anything else. They're fully functional adults.
The police told her to knock it off, she refused to. So they removed her. Seems reasonable.
I sure as hell don't want to have to listen to someone working for Harris telling me to keep standing in line (no shit, is that how lines work? 🙄) or give me any sort of advice on who to vote for. I doubt anyone else here would tolerate that crap, either.
I think you’re giving these fully functioning adults too much credit. I read that workers at the elections office were advising voters to go to a satellite elections office to beat the lines, and upon arrival at the satellite office they were advised they had no more ballots. Stay in line and vote.
“In fact, the election worker told people in line to go to the Chester Heights satellite office because the line was shorter there. Do you know what happened when they got to the Chester Heights office to vote in person? They were told that they ran out of mib applications. This is voter suppression in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. I did nothing wrong except encourage people to stay in line and vote. So they arrested me. VOTE!” Val Biancaniello said on X.
I'm curious why she didn't name the Democratic election worker who was telling voters to go to a satellite office, and if that worker was aware the satellite office was out of ballots.
In any case, she was receiving complaints from voters in line ( it doesn't matter if they were liberal or not, they still had the right to complain, even if it's a whiney bitch thing to do), the police there told her to stop.
She refused to comply with the police, so she was arrested.
Again, there is nothing unreasonable about that. It was her choice to continue to interact with voters in line, after she was told by police to stop.

Just leave people in peace.
