Four years ago, the prospect of a competitive Presidential primary led to some relatively strong voter registration reports for Pennsylvania’s Democratic Party. Yet as 2020 progressed that contested primary never came, and the summer and fall registration reports were far more encouraging for the Pennsylvania GOP. Nevertheless, Biden was ultimately able to win back the Keystone State in November.
So Pennsylvania Democrats can take just a bit of solace in the fact that these latest voter registration trends can only tell us so much about future election results.
But that doesn’t mean we just should ignore the overwhelming nature of these numbers. Since I first started tracking voter registrations trends in Pennsylvania, Republicans have generally eaten into Democrats’ historic advantage. This is the first time I can recall, however, that the GOP posted gains in all 67 counties throughout the commonwealth.
Furthermore, the comparison to the last Presidential cycle is particularly stark. Back during the COVID-delayed voter registration deadline in May 2020, the Democratic advantage was D+803,427. Today it stands at 397,241. In that time 122,639 more voters have joined the rolls, yet Dems have lost 195,867 registrants as the Republicans gained 210,319. All the while, independent voters who chose either no affiliation or some other party rose 108,187.

I really would like to see Fetterman switch parties. He is no worse than any RINO out there and his unequivocal support for Israel has sold me on him. At his point if you are not Conservative you are Liberal, regardless of political party.
But how many of those newly registered Republicans are illegal-noncitizens?
If I were an illegal, I would register as a Republican so as to fly under the radar screen.
As the article states: “””So Pennsylvania Democrats can take just a bit of solace in the fact that these latest voter registration trends can only tell us so much about future election results.”””
Nevertheless, Biden was ultimately able to win back the Keystone State
?? Wrong , the election was stolen period and certain pencilers did some illegal stuff to do it in districts they control and apparently can get by in doing it.
Amazingly similar in elsewhere similar environs.
Agree....His parents are life long Republicans....so the influence is there for a change.
Fetterman has shocked me as he has steadily regained his wits after that stroke. He’s not afraid to take on the Far Left which I can appreciate even if there’s plenty I disagree with him about. At least he’s not just another rubber stamp for Schumer.
I certainly hope this time they know not to count mail in votes with no crease in the ballots.
Can you imagine the howl that would arise from the msm about his fitness for office? His garb? His looks?
It would be delicious.
But can they overcome fraudulent votes?
“Some people did some things” and Biden won PA.
I have yet to see an effective response or counter action from the PA GOP.
Ping...
How many of these “new Republicans” overlap with the 158,000 Haley voters?
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
At the time we had a GOP governor pledged to sign it and majorities in both houses of the legislature. Gleason's reasoning was that we didn't want to settle for half a loaf when we might get the whole loaf. This was in 2011. And fraud in Philadelphia has become more rewarding ever since.
BeijinBiden did not win the state. His minions trucked in mailin ballots in the middle of the night.
how does this happens if the dems control the illegal alien vote. are they illegals going to other states?
There isn’t any.
