Pa. 07 Voter Registration Data Shows a Very Purple District

As of August 10, the Department of State reports the following registration statistics for the Pa. 7 Congressional District: Democrats - 224,184; Republicans - 205,146; Libertarians - 3,137; Greens - 782; Unaffiliated - 92,619; Other - 15,325.

The total number of registered voters is 541,193. 

Democrats have a 19,038-voter advantage over Republicans, but the rising number of third party and independent voters makes it difficult to predict anything other than a growing disenchantment with the major parties. 

According to PoliticsPa, Democrats have added and Republicans have lost voters since their last check in April. But 46,000 voters throughout the state have abandoned the major parties to become independents. 

The Congressional race in Pa. 7 will likely be decided by approximately 96,000 voters who belong to neither of the main parties.
