Republicans Blow Out Dems In September Voter Registration In Two Key Swing States

Republicans in Pennsylvania and North Carolina registered nearly twice as many voters as Democrats in September, according to new data reported by Michael Pruser of Decision Desk HQ.

In Pennsylvania, on the back of registration efforts from conservative activist Scott Presler, Republicans registered nearly 61,000 new voters compared to Democrats gaining nearly 36,000 voters. Presler has recently been leading an effort to register Amish voters in Pennsylvania, a group of 87,000 people in the Keystone State, many of whom have never voted. North Carolina, another vital battleground state, saw over 19,000 Republicans register to vote in September, nearly double the Democrats’ numbers in the state, according to the data.

“WAIT! Are you telling us that Pennsylvania added more Republican voters in the last month than any other state?” Presler wrote on X. “My heart is singing a tune so loudly, I think the sun, moon, & stars can hear it!”

Pennsylvania is considered by many to be the key to victory for both former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump won the state on his way to the White House in 2016 and then lost the state to President Joe Biden in 2020. A poll conducted by Cygnal and shared exclusively with The Daily Wire on Monday showed Trump holding a slim lead over Harris in Pennsylvania’s all-important swing counties of Erie and Northhampton.

“In a reversal from 2020, Pennsylvania’s ‘Bellwether Counties’ have narrowly swung back to Donald Trump,” the pollster wrote. “As Democrats have a 4-point party registration advantage in these counties, this is further evidence of these ancestral Democrats increasingly leaving the party of their forefathers.”

Trump is currently polling ahead of Harris by less than 1 point in both Pennsylvania and North Carolina, according to the RealClearPolitics average.

Republicans also saw big wins in September voter registration in other states, including Nevada, where 9,071 people registered as Republicans compared to 8,801 people registering as Democrats. In Florida, 60,436 people registered as Republicans while 36,116 people registered as Democrats. Republicans also beat Democrats in September voter registrations in the deep blue states of California, New Jersey, New Mexico, and Rhode Island.
