GOP voter registrations surge in key battleground state (PA)
Fox News ^ | 10 September 2020 | Julia Musto

In the four years since Donald Trump's surprise victory in the 2016 presidential election, the GOP has registered nearly seven times more voters than Democrats in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.

Keystone State Republicans have added almost 198,000 registered voters to the books since 2016, while Democrats have gained an additional 29,000, Politico reported Thursday.

Democrats still outnumber Republicans by about 750,000 voters in the state, but the percentage of those registered is down two points from September 2016. The percentage of Republicans has risen from 38% to 39%.

Many party officials credit President Trump with narrowing the divide.

An uptick in registrations in three critical areas across Pennsylvania -- including Erie, Luzerne, and Northampton counties -- helped Trump to flip the state in 2016, according to Politico; Hillary Clinton lost to him there by less than one percentage point.

Republicans have made the biggest net gains in western Pennsylvania's Westmoreland, Luzerne and Washington counties, Politico said, while Democrats have gained ground in the suburbs around Philadelphia including Montgomery, Chester, Delaware and Bucks counties.

While Democrats in the state said that they were not particularly concerned about the increase, Republicans said they have benefitted from the Trump campaign's in-person canvassing.

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's team has largely opted for a virtual approach amid the COVID-19 pandemic, although local Democratic groups have held some socially distanced events focused on signing up voters, Politico reported.

Great news.

Vote in person or walk in the mail-in ballots that are foisted on you (California) and witness them being dropped in the box.

IMHO, Election Day is the day to vote. It helps to dilute the sudden importance of this mail-in process, but more importantly it does not give the ballot counters one extra day to fiddle around with completed ballots or use them to spin "indicators." Let 'em sweat.

Always suspicious that upticks like this are Dem doing a bit of sabotage. Don’t trust them one bit.

Democrat operative says: “These are democrats who haven’t voted democrat in a while re-registering as Republicans”.

Cemeteries are full of activity now, as democrat operatives write down the names on the tombstones and register them to vote.

A Freeper posted this story based on their own investigations two days ago:

I think journalists read these chat sites to get story ideas.

True! A democrat lawyer who comes into our office admitted that he votes democrat 99% of the time, but this time he is voting for Trump.

Trump signs are everywhere here in our part of Western Pa. It was the same in 2016. The only way Trump will lose is by massive dem cheating. I don’t trust them either.
