You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
I wonder if I’m reading this correctly.
ReplyDeleteSeveral recent headlines have proclaimed PA has reached or is nearing 9 million registered voters.

State population is 12.8 M, of which 20% are below the age of 18. That brings us down to 10.4 M of voting age. Another 6.8% are foreign born. Say half have received their citizenship. Who knows how many are transitory residents. A reasonable estimate is somewhat less than 10 M eligible voters. Is it credible that >90% of eligible voters are registered?

I reported this yesterday.
ReplyDelete"As of October 19, based on records maintained by the Department of State, there are now 9,016,163 registered voters in the Commonwealth, consisting of 4,207,190 Democrats (46.66%), 3,506,337 Republicans (38.88%) and 1,302,636 others (14.44%)."
Pa.'s population in 2020 is estimated at 12.8 million. Burt before you go crazy, let me point out that many registered voters are inactive and have not voted for five years. They likely moved and will be purged. I wrote a post about that, too. https://lehighvalleyramblings.blogspot.com/2020/09/democrats-have-high-percentage-of.html

ReplyDeleteWhy'd these Trump supporters wait this long?
ReplyDeleteHey! Hold on before you start purging files. Many Allentown occupants(visitors) may be able to use those slots so that they not be wasted.
