Pennsylvania Dems Break Registration Record

Share    

Another important swing state is turning "blue":

Democratic voter registration in Pennsylvania has hit a record of more than 4 million voters.

“It’s kind of incredible,” Harry A. VanSickle, the state’s elections commissioner, tells The Caucus as his office prepares to post the new numbers. “It’s the first time we know of that a party in Pennsylvania has gone over 4 million.”

A total of 4,044,952 people are now registered to vote in the Democratic primary; a total of 3,215,478 are registered for the Republican primary.

Pennsylvania was a boon to Democrats in 2006.  Reps. Jason Altmire, Patrick Murphy, and Chris Carney picked up big wins over entrenched Republican incumbents.  The unprecedented excitement of Democrats in the Keystone State bodes well for another successful election year.

I’m especially proud to hear that Democratic voter registration has achieved record numbers in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,  Not my home state but this is where I’ve received my undergraduate college education, not at one but two outstanding Pennsylvania schools.  A fascinating state extending in all directions from its geographic center, Center County. Let’s keep this up throughout all parts of the nation. 

P.S.  Especially proud as well of Sen. Dodd and his genuine effort to keep moving forward toward happier days.

How many of the new Democratic primary voters are in fact Limbaugh Republicans that are intent upon screwing up the PA primary?
