Pennsylvania Voter Registration Sets Record

Sorted under 2008 election, politics on October 7, 2008

People registered to vote in Pennsylvania has hit an all time high and set a new record of 8.6 million Pennsylvania people registered to vote–And last minute registrants who sent in their registration as late as yesterday still have to be counted.

Democrats saw the largest increase in voter registration with an increase of 500,000 new Democratic voters. While Democrats increased in numbers, Republicans voters have dropped by 28,000.

Pennsylvania, I want to thank you for waking up; for crawling out from whatever dark hole you’ve been hiding in for the past how many or so years to get out there and make your voice heard. I also want to thank the young, recently 18 and voting in their first election and also the other people who had never registered to vote before and are voting for the first time in this election because they finally want to believe and to have hope in America. All 500,000 (and counting) new Democratic Pennsylvania voters, thank you for standing up for what you know this country needs. Those of you who have been registered to vote for years but never did because you either didn’t know much about politics or didn’t realize just how much of an impact you could have, thank you.

It is about fucking time. Now let’s win this shit, okay?

  • Voting is good and all, but I don't know if these day's it really matters much. It's all staged :).

    But good for Penn. voters!
  • I hope obama will win :)
  • Everything is going crazy now. The markets and the election. I just want everything to go back to the way it was before Bush's economic plan blew up in all of our faces.
  • Yes! Let's do this thing.

    I hope all the people who registered don't get lulled into complacency because Obama's up in the polls right now. We need everyone to have that same sense of urgency they had during the primary to get out there and VOTE!
  • Holly, all I heard for 2 days around here was the Zeitgeist addendum! Mo has been talking about it all the time and wondered if you had seen it.
