Luzerne is blue collar Democrat. A bellwether PA county. Includes Scranton and its rural hinterland.

Scranton is Lackawanna County, NOT Luzurne Co.

Born & raised in NEPA.
Look at the last several national elections. Luzurne is trending more conservative.
Local elections, all bets are off

“Luzerne is blue collar Democrat. A bellwether PA county. Includes Scranton and its rural hinterland.”

Wrong - Scranton is Lackawanna county, and went for Hillary. although by a small margine.

Luzerne County has been heavily democrat for years, but in 2016, it went overwhelmingly for Trump (about 60%).

It was a bellwether for the Trump victory and his winning over of the Deplorables that all the polls and pundits missed.

Thus sayeth goldstategop “Luzerne is blue collar Democrat. A bellwether PA county. Includes Scranton and its rural hinterland.”

While I reside in Carbon County, this goofball Yudichak is my state senator. While the area is the old eastern coal fields and there are lots o’ shutdown factories, in Carbon there are more registered Republicans than Democrats. The election last week was a good day for Republicans.

It is true that Scranton is majority Democrat the outlying areas are quite Red and I see no let-up in the support for Trump. By the way, Yuichak’s Chief of Staff, Bill Richards, ran for and was soundly defeated for Carbon County Commissioner.
