1. I'm a Pennsylvanian, but I'm not sure how that region

of the state usually votes. Do they lean GOP?

2. Its a swing region

The results of the Lehigh Valley have in the past shown how the whole state of Pennsylvania went.

3. i'm from the lehigh valley

it's very much a swing region. I would argue that after you give philadelphia and pittsburg to the dems and the middle section to the repubs, it all comes down to the lehigh valley. I would almost argue that whomever wins the lehigh valley wins the election. It's the third largest area in PA with around 300,000 residents and it is very much split between dems and repubs. was once safe haven for dems, but that has changed. needless to say, i'll be going home from college to vote at home, just to make sure my vote is counted there right away.
