Nearly 100,000 Pennsylvania Democrats have switched to the Republican party since the beginning of this year.
“Enthusiasm is clearly on the side of the Republican Party of Pennsylvania this year,” Republican Party of Pennsylvania Chairman Rob Gleason said.
“Republicans are making historic gains in voter registration in the Keystone State. As the last-minute registrations are processed, we’re confident we will see our Party grow even larger.”
The party says the numbers come from the Pennsylvania Department of State which confirms that 97,607 Democrats have switched to Republican.
The Pennsylvania Republican party confirmed that more than 240,000 new voters have joined the party since last November.
Figures also show that 38,020 Republicans actually switched to Democrats.
