Luzerne County voter registration on verge of switch to Republican majority

Luzerne County Republican Party Chairman Gene Ziemba said he has full confidence the county voter registration majority will soon switch from blue to red, possibly by next week.

The latest Pennsylvania voter registration statistics released Tuesday show the county has 87,179 Democrats and 86,839 Republicans — a difference of 340.

This is striking compared to the registration domination once held by Democrats. For example, the gap between the two parties was 47,669 in 2011.

However, a shift has been in the making for years. Area political professors have largely attributed the steady Republican rise to an aging county population that is becoming more conservative.

However they sit at home and watch Fox news.

This is the reason for this madness.
