"Dems Register More New Voters Than GOP"

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - The Democratic Party has registered 108,000 more new voters than the Republican Party since the April primary in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, according to figures released Tuesday.

The latest round of registrations, which closed Oct. 4, left Democrats with nearly 4 million people on the voting rolls, a 7 percent increase. GOP ranks increased by 4 percent to nearly 3.4 million.

The number of registered voters in Pennsylvania stands at a record 8.2 million, a 6 percent increase since April.

Of 437,896 new registrants, 247,207 are Democrats and 138,864 are Republicans, according to unofficial totals from all 67 counties.

2. These numbers fit perfectly with what I saw about Iowa last week.
In Iowa the early voting party affiliation numbers were the same ratio. Almost 2:1 Dem to Rug.

4. Now the trick is to make sure those people vote
Vote early if at all possible. This is why it is so critical that everyone here volunteer. Make the call, drive people to polls, etc.
