I grew up in the most northern part of Lackawanna Co, and I will second your statement of it being a Demorat stronghold.
It’s an area, where my Dad said as a kid, you had to be a registered “D”, if you wanted a job or friends.
It is historically VERY, VERY Demorat. I can speak of this FIRST HAND!!
Only the last cycle or 2 is it starting the change.
I’ve posted on FR twice that in a recent trip to NEPA, there were a TON of Trump signs compared to Biden. Anecdotal for sure, but it can’t be far off from truth.
If Lackawanna County is 52%-44% FOR TRUMP-—THIS ELECTION IS OVER BY 9PM-10PM election night!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for verifying the data I got from my friend!!
