From Fox News: The Democratic Party is losing its edge over the GOP in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania, with Democrats changing their party affiliation at more than twice the rate of Republicans, according to state data released after voter registration ended Monday evening.
A total of 9,088,583 registered voters were tallied across the state when the sign-up period ended at midnight on Monday. Registered Democrats maintained a lead over registered Republicans, at 3,971,607 registered Democrats to the GOP’s 3,673,783.
More than 1.4 million voters are registered as third-party or independent voters in the Keystone State.
Though the Democratic Party accounts for nearly 44% of registered voters compared to the GOP’s 40%, it has seen its advantage over Republicans dwindle this year.
In 2020, there were 9,090,962 registered voters across the parties in Pennsylvania, only slightly more than the 9,088,583 voters registered this cycle.
Biden has declared the winner in Pennsylvania in 2020 by 80,555 votes.
Since the 2020 election, Democrats have experienced a net loss of 257,281 registered voters, while Republicans have recorded a net gain of 428,537 registered voters.

Late Monday night, conservative activist Scott Presler, who has been working like mad to register Republican voters in Pennsylvania, announced, “It is done. We registered as many Pennsylvania voters as we possibly could. Now, we have to get all of them to vote.”

“Proud to announce that @EarlyVoteAction has 70 paid boots on the ground field staff. Now that voter registration is closed in Pennsylvania, all 70 of our staff are immediately transitioning to GOTV & ballot chasing,” Presler added.

But all is not perfect yet in Pennsylvania.
Presler announced Tuesday afternoon: “Luzerne County News. I’m hearing that there are still THOUSANDS of unprocessed voter registration + mail-in ballot applications. If you’re still waiting for your ballot, go to the Luzerne BOE & request an “in-person, on demand, mail-in ballot.” Don’t wait — go in-person‼️”
