HARRISBURG (KDKA) – Nearly 100,000 Pennsylvania Democrats have switched to Republican since the beginning of the year.

What’s more: The Pennsylvania Republican party says more than 240-thousand new voters have joined the party since last November.

The party says that the surge in Republican registrations is nearly twice the number of newly registered Republicans compared to both the 2008 and 2012 numbers combined.

The party says the new numbers come from the Pennsylvania Department of State which shows that 97,607 Democrats have actually switched to Republican.

Fox News broadcast Trumps rally LIVE this afternoon and it was the BEST yet.

He CRUCIFIED that scumbag Paul Ryan and SHRILLARY ROTTEN CRIMINAL FALL DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!

At the same time and instead of the Trump rally, CNN kept up a silly stream of fag metrosexuals and stupid bitches whining about how Trump is the ANTI-CHRIST, plus a completely out of bounds piece about how Trump wants to have sex with his daughter.

Maybe CBS has figured out that it’s best to DO THEIR JOB, lest they get caught up in the HELL STORM that’s coming to the “press”.

How many of those were democrats that switched so they could vote FOR Trump in the Primary only so they could vote AGAINST him in the general election? Probably less than 90% but probably more than 10%.

But 100,00 Republican voters who have died in recent years have already filled out ballots for the Democrats...

There are some good trends, but but we are fighting a tide of greater corruption. I pray our Country is saved.

Nah, a lot of people switched so they could vote in the primaries.

I think you're right. Hillary was a certainty. I too think that a bunch of Dems switched in order to cause mischief in the Republican primaries.

This country is truly an oligarchy—the blinders are being removed from our eyes. Oligarchies always own and control the media.

Need a new Axiom Battleground County poll in PA. Can’t wait to get an update on Luzerne and Northampton counties.

Do you know for a fact these folks only re-registered to vote in the primaries?

What can you point to, to back that up?

It doesn’t talk about folks registering back.

Are you sure about that?

There were 80,000 more total votes in the 2016 Dim primary than the Republican primary - 1.65 million vs. 1.57 million.

In 2008, There were 1.8 million Democratic primary voters vs. 810,000 Republican primary voters.

Obummer beat McLame in Penn 3.2 million vs. 2.6 million.

So even with a hotly contested 2016 Dim primary, total Dim primary voters went down by 150,000, while in an equally hotly contested race Republican primary voters nearly doubled.

What does this mean for November 28th? Who knows. I think Trump has a much better shot in Penn than McLame or Romney, but it will all come down to turnout.

We shall overcome .. finally !

That map is from '02, and I'm betting that at least five of those blue counties shown are OURS this time.
Lackawanna, Luzerne, Carbon, Schuylkill, Washington, Green, Fayette . . .

If the Philly vote fraud can be kept to a minimum, I feel fairly confident that Trump will win PA.

Who's going to keep Philly vote fraud to a minimum? I fear Trump doesn't know how to do it and I fear that the establishment GOP isn't going to help.

I share your concerns, but I do know that the Trump camp is assembling a team and a game plan to fight. Whether it`s
enough, who knows? Trump confidant Roger Stone is involved in this effort. I think his web site is stopthesteal.org

If they vote, and vote Republican, 100,000 is actually a 200,000 difference (100,000 less for the gems, 100,000 more for the Republicans.

I think that’s what happened Nationally.

It’s been reported Clinton’s emails wanted Trump, Cruz or Carson. For some reason they were afraid of Rubio, thinking he was the new Obama.

they wanted Trump or Cruz because they knew they had dirt. They thought Carson would be soft and weak.

Makes sense about switching for the primary

I would think that would be a vote for Trump

If you think for even a second you could find a white guy to go into North or West Philly and be a poll watcher you are tripping.
If you were brave enough to do it, I’d recommend upping your health and life insurance.

There is absolutely no way you’d be able to stop them from doing what voter fraud happens.

so basically you’re saying it will never be stopped so always lose Pennsylvania? I’m sorry I just don’t buy that. We need to go in groups of poll Watchers and video cameras and make sure it’s all called out in advance so there’s people ready to record it right away if the vote fraud starts with intimidation.it’s about being prepared and a little bit courageous.
