D’s outnumber R’s slightly in this district. But Murphy’s smalles margin was a 16 point win. Many conservatives in SW PA will register Dem so they don’t get their property tax assessment messed with. Dems still dominate at the local level, not so much on the state and national.
It will be a tough loss to swallow if we lose this seat.
The district is so GOP leaning that sometimes Dems don’t even bother running a candidate in this district.
