Trial run before the midterms. Let the cheating begin.

Just Pennsylvania in 2020

Ok, I didn't see the 2022 numbers yet. I did see a report last night that said GOP voters were up like 20 percent? Don't know yet?

Presidential year primaries usually have larger turnout.

Sounds like the votes will be counted, just will take some time.

It is always up to the people doing the counting. History repeats itself.

It's Lancaster: Amish, cows, corn, and conservative voters. Which America first candidate are the vote counters going to cheat for, the guy that worked in the Trump administration, or the guy President Trump endorsed?

There were more than 3.7 million votes cast during the 2020 primaries. With about 2% yet to count Pennsylvania looks to have less than 2.8 million votes cast. Midterm elections tend to have lower numbers and Pennsylvania only allows party registered voters to vote. No Independents are allowed to vote.

But Democrat voter turnout is 29% down from 2020 while Republican turnout is 22% up. Voter enthusiasm is a major gauge of what the general election will look like. Looking like Democrats are very discouraged by their party's chances in November.

Don't get it twisted, in 2020 Trump was running unopposed while the Democrats were still sorting things out. No need for Republicans to turn out in 2020. In 2020 there was a presidential primary for the Dems and this year there isn't. Normal primary turnout seeing there was no contested race on that side.

How many Democrats changed their political parties in order to vote in the Republican primary? With Democratic race a forgone conclusion, there could have been tens of thousands who changed to throw a monkey wrench in.

You just change your affiliation after you vote, right at the polling place. Simple. Almost as easy as changing your sex.

I believe you had to change your party by April 1 in Pennsylvania to vote in yesterdays election.

Lol, libs going through that much effort? They would be triggered just by signing a Republican Party affiliation form.

Happens in every election cycle. If one party has a uncontested or non competitive race, voters think they can move the needle by voting for the least attractive candidate in the other parties race.

Not in my hole state.

That what I saw. Makes me think Republicans are extremely motivated, will vote in huge numbers. Dems better worry about the Independents too. They won't be breaking their way.

You're gosh darn (auto-censored) right.

Numbers don't lie. Even Democrat politicians and journalists are saying the Democrats are in big trouble. And turnout's a key indicator in every election of the enthusiasm of the base. Presidential election or not there are still a lot of other races being decided but if a party is discouraged about their chances they tend to turn out in smaller numbers.
