... As of Friday, we officially surpassed the Democrats in the number of absentee ballots returned. We have made an incredible push over the last weeks, and look to continue over the last week to increase our margins. Compared to this point in 2014, the Republican Party of Pennsylvania has doubled absentee returns.
This is an incredible sign for us as we are now just over two weeks away from Election Day...

I am hopeful...
This could be a blowout like never seen in an off-year election.
Or not. It all depends on who shows up.
The angry, unemployed millennials the Dems are relying on are mostly ALL WORKING NOW.
Would love to see
Sleepy Bob Casey lose ..
The only thing that matters is the senate race, a race too far. I’ve got $100. It will go to any GOP candidate who UPSETS their opponent. John James is in the same boat. I can’t throw good money after bad.The only other 100 bucks I sent was to Blackburn and it seems to have paid off. There’s always Rosendale and Braun. Heck, I could even give a hundred to 2-3 candidates if it’s a good night. At this point I’m not going to try to get with ‘the program’. They’re all on their own. That Lamb fella appears to be losing. Perhaps Trump should make him an offer to come over to our side when he loses. Or Mancin after he wins!
that sounds good but it will take MANY more votes to overcome the D’s 173% turnout in Philly
plus isn’t it amazing how the D’s always get 400% of the deceased voting block?
Good news, good post based on data not opinion.
“It all depends on who shows up.”
It all depends on who’s counting the ballots, and how.
here in Ca absentee ballots are not even counted unless the total of ballots were a hundred % on a issue or candidate then they might be counted until it would change an outcome hilliary didn’t win the popular vote
Interesting. I wonder what this could mean.
Our local Delaware county chairman letter with the absentee ballot used the sanctuary city and free drug injections zones that are in philly is what we will get here if you vote democrat. very good letter.

“The RNC now has 540 national staff members across 28 states, with more than 22,000 activists whom they describe as “top tier” because they are specifically trained to help sustain the operation. In comparison, 5,000 such volunteers were trained for the 2016 campaign.
…
“’When [Trump] announced his reelection campaign shortly after the inauguration, I think it was a brilliant move because it allowed us to keep running hand-in-hand with the campaign apparatus and the RNC for the midterms,’ RNC political director Juston Johnson said.
“Trump’s Make America Great Again rallies supporting Republican midterm candidates have served a particularly useful purpose: recruiting volunteers for the RNC’s field operation and improving its data program, which is growing increasingly sophisticated as a result of the nearly $250 million that officials say they have spent since 2012 to improve the party’s data and digital operations.
My 91 year old mother hasn’t voted in a long time due to it being difficult for her to stand on line and use those new computers.
I talked her into getting an absentee ballot this year and she mailed it a few days ago. Straight Republican.
Awesome - My parents retired in PA, but passed away a decade ago. Hopefully they aren’t voting Democrat this year ...
Awe, sorry about your parents. I hope that aren’t voting Democrat either.
The GOP is pushing hard for early ballots this year. It could be they are merely trading early votes for those who voted at the regular time. In that case, a big increase in EARLY GOP votes won’t mean anything at all.
Wow. This is stunning.
Rs had cut almost 85,000 off the D registration advantage since 2016, but still were down a lot, so this would be amazing.
You mean except in 2016 when Trump won the state and 3% black voters stayed home (over and above those who voted for Trump?)
They are making real strides as Romney did not get one vote in 49 precincts in Philadelphia I think it was.
Well, it’s in keeping with EVERY other observation except NV.
But I’m hearing I may be wrong on NV and that in fact the Rs are doing significantly better than 2016. Need a little more data on that.
