Even More New Pennsylvania Voters

Ever more fascinating Pennsylvania registration numbers emerged today and the PA Secretary of State is still counting. Apparently there are, so far, 4, 119,213 registered Democrats now in Pennsylvania, that's up an additional 74,261 from last week's tally. The state's voter registration deadline closed at midnight a week ago today. In my voter registration story last week, I only had numbers through the week of March 17. The totals so far for the week of March 24 (which really is one day, last Monday) are pretty amazing: 33,281 Republicans and Independents changed their voter registration to Democratic and 44,867 new voters registered that day. Again, these aren't even the final tallies, which are due next week.
