GOP Voter Registration Four Times Higher Than Democrats in Pennsylvania

Voter registration among Republicans is four times higher than it is among Democrats in Pennsylvania, according to new data.

Decision Desk data shows that GOP voter registration surged in July, with more than 21,000 Republicans signing up to vote. In contrast, only 5,000 Democrats registered to vote in July 2024.

The data also shows that since November 2020, the number of Democrats registered to vote in the state has decreased by more than 320,000. Meanwhile, the number of Republicans registered to vote has also dropped, but by a much smaller margin, with 1,400 fewer voters since 2020.

Pennsylvania is among the 30 states, including the swing states of North Carolina, Nevada, and Arizona, which register voters by requiring a political party designation. If voters refuse to choose a party, they will remain unaffiliated.

Overall, three million fewer people are registered to vote now compared to November 2020, when there were 121 million registrations, according to Decision Desk HQ. The drop is unsurprising given that The National Voting Rights Act (NVRA) allows states to conduct voter roll clean-ups between elections.

However, Decision Desk HQ data shows a discrepancy in the drop in registered voters between the parties, with the Democrats losing 3.5 million registered voters nationally, while the Republicans have gained 141,000 registered voters.

Meanwhile, in 28 of the 30 states that require voters to register with a party, Republicans have net more voter registrations than Democrats (Colorado and California withstanding), picking up more than 225,000 registrations in the first 21 days of July.

Watched the local news in northeast PA tonight which covers scranton and the rural areas. Saturated with Harris commercials maybe 1 or 2 for Trump. Every break Harris Harris Harris. They have tons of money. The Republicans not so much. Its going to be long few months until the election.

Trump is holding fire until after the Democrat National Convention so they can’t do another switcheroo when he guts her.

That’s kinda off since 2016 the gop has cut the voter registration advantage by nearly 400,000 votes.
John Fetterman of all people even thinks Trump is probably the favorite to win the state.

That’s because Trump is saturating the Philly market ads on the Phillies broadcasts run almost the same in the opposite direction.

Thank-you, Scott Pressler.

He recently moved to Pennsylvania, and his presence there is
paying off. He is registering vast number of new voters.

I’m glad Lara Trump brought him aboard.

If they’ll actually vote *and* vote Republican, yes, indeed.

The article seems to be saying that there was a 16,000 person registration toward the GOP in that short period in July.

But... the the total advantage the GOP has had since 2020 is far greater. So yes... I think I did read it.

That time period does certainly allow for the counting of many democrats who could have switched to vote for Haley.

I certainly expect Trump to win the state handle, but not all of those registrations are genuine. Either way, this is obviously a great trend when looking at what happened in July, where there would be no reason for democrats to swap over.

So Joe’s 81 million plus Trump’s 70+ million, 81+70=151+ million, which is clearly less than the 121 million nationwide registered voters in 2020. Dumb election deniers just can’t count I guess.
