Pennsylvania is thought by many to be the key to the race. One of the seven swing states, the Keystone State's 19 electoral votes are critical, and the presidential candidates are scrapping and clawing for them. Not only is voter turnout key, but so is voter registration. And so we've witnessed an amazing amount of effort being put into the registration ground game this election cycle — with some positive results for the GOP. In 2020, there were 4,228,888 registered Democrats and 3,543,070 registered Republicans for the November election. As of October 21, 2024 (the last day for registering in Pennsylvania), there were 3,971,607 registered Democrats and 3,673,783 registered Republicans. Thus, Democrats have lost ground while Republicans have gained it. //

Late Friday morning, news broke that election officials in Lancaster County had discovered potential voter registration fraud implicating as many as 2,500 registrations.
