PA Voter Registration Could be at All-Time High

Voter registration for Pennsylvania's presidential primary may set an all-time record. State officials Monday released updated numbers that show total registration at about 8.3 million — fewer than 50,000 votes shy of the record set in the last presidential election. And that number will increase, because county officials aren't finished processing all the applications that were filed by the March 24 deadline. The number of Democrats now stands at 4.2 million — an increase of 8 percent since last fall's election. The Republican total is 3.2 million — a decline of about 2 percent.
