Dems Pick up Huge Lead Over Republicans in Northampton County

Is it Obama? Bush? Whatever the reason, Democrats now have a huge registration edge in Northampton County. According to figures released by voter registration, there are now 94,118 Democrats registered to vote. This is a nearly 5,500 voter increase over the 88,630 party members registered on October 16.

Democrats' gain is Republicans' loss. Nearly 9,000 of the 69,652 GOP voters registered on October 16 have left. Current strength is at just 60,682.

Overall, registered voters have increased from 190,429 to 193,927.

It's probably because there is no longer a need for Republicans to vote in the primary. For the next few months, it's all about the Dems.

It will be interesting to see the numbers when the General Election approaches.

Frankly, I see no need for the R's to vote in the general election {grin}

For many years, all the Pa D's didn't' have to register and vote. It's a blue state. Now with a very polarizing D candidate, many might be registering to STOP Hillary from getting a clean sweep in Pa.

I don't buy the Operation Chaos effect nonsense. I think PA is just becoming more and more liberal. That's a good thing.

Oh and it's even more evident why Chuck Dent is pandering and robocalling for the past year. Has CD ever had an actual job?

Chuck Dent will still be a congressman next year at this time and thats coming from a Dem.

Agreed. NC's registration could be 100% Democratic and Dent will still beat Bennett.

Comforting news for Rs is historical turnout problems for Ds. Rs register and vote. D's not so much.
