PoliticsPa: Dems Have 356k Voter Registration Edge Over GOP in Pa

 According to PoliticsPa, Pennsylvania Democrats have 356k more registered voters than Republicans. "Democrats (3.9M) continue to hold a registration advantage over Republicans (3.55M) by approximately 356,000 voters. Those registered with no affiliation total just over one million (1.03M), while other party registrants are just under 345,000." But as I periodically note on this blog, they have been losing that edge for at least the past 10 years. "Democrats continue to see defections to Republicans, independents or other parties since the start of 2024, as 39,278 have signed on as members of the GOP, while 22,786 indicated another preference. For comparison, the GOP lost 14,652 to Democratic registration and an additional 21,991 to others."

Given this numerical advantage, it should come as no surprise that the latest Pa. polls show that Harris is now leading Trump in the Keystone State. 

This can be reversed if Trump is able to negatively define Harris in a way that resonates with voters. So far, his misogyny and racist dog whistles have failed.

  1. Nationwide independent ND THIRDF PAERTY REGISTRTATTION IS ON BIG UPSWINGS FOR SOME TIME. many Americans SITE THE REASON AS NEITHER MAJOR PARTY CARES FOR PEOPLE AND ONLY HAS ENTRENCED IDEOLOGIES DESIGNED TO DIVIDE PEOPLE. both PARTIES ARE OWNED BY MAJOR DONORS AND THE COPRPORTATE ELEITES. prediction IS THAT WITHIN A FEW YEARS independent AND THIRD PARTY REGISTRATION WILL RIVAL BOTH republican AND democrat NUMBERS.

    SOUNDS GOOD!

  3. The real important components these days is the number of people identifying themselves to be Independent, and the amount of ineligible votes making their way through the system. Our voting process that still remains somewhat insecure.

    1. What is your basis for the statement that the voting process is insecure? I mean, Mr. Trump and the R's filed 47 lawsuits after the last election, lost 46, and failed to prove any fraud, and Fox News famously paid $787m on account of their defamation. It may surprise you to know that Democrats also want a secure election system, and that the vote-by-mail law was passed by a wide majority of D's and R's.

    2. The situation is not exactly as you describe, 11:22AM. Almost none (I’m not aware of any) of those election challenges were ever sent all the way up the judicial chain to resolution by an independent jury trial with an evidentiary cross examination.

      By the way, I don’t watch Fox News or any other corporate legacy network. They all suck. Epoch Times, Conservative Treehouse, and independent journalists on the internet are all I need.

    4. “…Mr. Trump and the R's filed 47 lawsuits after the last election, lost 46,…”

      CCV - Your statement is misleading, likely deliberately so. As you know (or at least should know), most of the lawsuits were dismissed on grounds of standing or other technicalities. Few cases were actually heard, or “lost”.

      To those who believe that our voting system was secure, you might want to check out yesterday’s article on MSN (hardly a right-wing source) about the group of hackers who found scores of vulnerabilities in our election system. But naturally there is no time to do anything to fix those problems.

      Also, if asked I would say that there are relatively few people in this country who would put their money in a bank with the same level of security that our voting machines/elections process currently has. That’s telling.

      Yet somehow come November half of the country will say that all is well with the results and how we vote. Newsflash, it isn’t. Until both sides are willing to look past the immediate results of an election and look at the process objectively, we will continue to be laughingstocks for the rest of the world.

    3. Trump's plan to remove tax on social security would would benefit people with high income (because the people paying taxes on social security are the ones that also have income from other sources) and lead to social security becoming insolvent faster.
      He's not trying to help the middle class that needs it; he's trying to limit what the wealthy have to pay.

      The Democrats introduced a bill that would eliminate tax on social security and extend the life of it by increasing the maximum amount of income people pay social security on (so that the wealthy continue to pay into social security up to $250,000) but the Republicans will never let it pass.

      Trump does not care about you if you don't make hundreds of thousands of dollars, at a minimum.

  13. I'm confused how any working person can vote for Trump. He commended Elon Musk for firing auto workers that were trying to unionize and then they would both hit with a federal lawsuit for intimidation. This is why people are not making enough money while corporations make record profits. The people that are for these corporations, no matter their other policies, won't help anyone recover from this stagnation. You need to FORCE corporations to pay their share. Every quarter it's about the numbers. Every quarter they need to make MORE or their stock goes down. Investors will be pissed. Corporations DON'T CARE. They can't care. They are only for the money. It will never trickle down to us.

    Also, I see so many people that love Trump and project 2025. Some are close to retirement and are talking about their social security numbers. Either you're for socialism or not. You cant vote for someone that will take action to make you work till you're dead.

    If you watch any of the trainwreck interviews he doesn't clearly articulate any policies. He just talks about how his crowd size, fake news and how he's being attacked.

    His Elon interview should have been a slam dunk. He even offered Elon a position in his administration. We should have all expected that. So, I go back to my first point of both of them wanting to screw the working class.

    Was he drunk? He mercilessly attacked Joe when he was sick at the debate. Trump was slurring his words pretty bad. He confused a drawing of Kamala with his wife.

    We have very low unemployment, record job growth and the economy is starting to stabilize. It takes a republican party to favor the corporations and a democratic party to stabilize the economy and working class. Fox news grits its teeth when it has to report the job growth numbers. It's comical to watch. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/foxs-maria-bartiromo-seems-really-203857952.html

    I think so many people are finally waking up and learning Trump only spits lies and division. The other day he was still talking which insult was more appropriate "Sleepy Joe or Crooked Joe." Why? Why was that important? The man dropped out. Get over it.

    Ive heard people say "At least trump has conviction." Yeah, 34 of them.

    1. I read your first sentence and figure you watch too much MSNBC and never look anything up so I will clear it up for you very simply with the website below. Dems want to let this expire and I have my favorite part below. Notice it says ALL INCOME LEVELS. Now to job growth numbers. May and April jobs report numbers were just revised lower by a combined 111,000 jobs. The May jobs report was revised from 272,000 to 218,000 while the April jobs report was revised from 165,000 to 108,000. This means that 10 out of the last 15 monthly jobs reports have been revised lower.

      The TCJA reduced average tax rates for taxpayers at all income levels because it lowered marginal tax rates,

    2. Honest question - what exactly do you do for a living? Our lives under Trump and under Biden are delineated and influenced by a GLOBAL pandemic that impacted everyone and all lines of work and in many cases the changes seen since 2020 are now a permanent way of life now. Basing your political voting preference on your economic situation before and after COVID isn't going to change much moving forward.
