Last day to register to vote in Pennsylvania General Election by Alexa Southard & Elise Person Mon, October 21st 2024 at 4:16 PM (FILE) According to government sources, there are more registered Democrats in PA than there are Republicans. As of Monday, there are over 3.9 million registered Democratic voters across the state, and over 3.6 million registered Republican voters. In total, there are 9,088,583 registered voters in the state. Just over 1 million have no affiliation, and 346,766 are registered as "other." “People in the political business don't really actually pay that much attention to registration numbers," said Jon Price, Penn State York's Assistant Teaching Professor of History and Political Science. "What really matters is 'called vote performance,' so normally, if you wanna see how a precinct is voting. you generally tend to look at how the party has done over the last ten years.” When comparing that to 2020's numbers, there are more people registered this year than there was last general election. Those numbers for 2020 included the following: 9,004,104 registered voters 4,183,292 registered Democrats 3,517,090 registered Republican However, how voters are registered might not matter when it comes to this election, according to Price. “People aren't generally voting the way they are registered,” he said. The Department of State released the following statement to CBS 21: The statutory deadline for voter registration is based on the hours of operation established by the county for receiving applications. Paper and in-person registration applications can only be received during the hours when the county office is open for business, which is why the Department suggests 5 p.m. as the deadline. That said, online voter registrations can still be submitted up through 11:59 p.m. the day of the deadline (Oct. 21). In contrast, the statutory deadline for mail ballot applications is 5 p.m. on the Tuesday before Election Day, regardless of the method used to apply. According to 538, PA polling numbers for October 21 shows both Trump and Harris dead even with 48% of votes. “What we might look at it if we're looking for trends is who's ascending in the polls right now would matter to me. Right now, it looks like Former President Trump seems to be moving up," said Price. "Generally speaking, he never gets above 48 to 49 percent of the votes.” Price says at the moment, Pennsylvania is too close to call. “If Trump does not win Pennsylvania, he'd have to win three states that Biden won,” said Price.

As Incumbent Scott Perry falls behind in the polls, he says it doesn't worry him by Elise Person Wed, October 30th 2024 at 5:35 PM With less than a week left until Election Day, Congressman Scott Perry campaigned across York County on Wednesday. (CBS 21) He kicked off the day speaking with members of the Rotary Club of York at the Country Club of York. He answered questions in front of a room full of rotary members and touched on a number of issues. Perry said one of his most important priorities is the economy. “If we have a strong economy, you have a strong country, the people have opportunities. They can move around and change jobs and buy houses and seek education and better themselves. Everything gets better with better economic circumstances,” Perry said. Some polls have Democrat Janelle Stelson leading Perry by several points in the 10th Congressional District race. However, Perry said he is not worried about the poll numbers. “It doesn't change anything I'm gonna do. I'm gonna work my tail off and pray to the good lord every single day,” Perry said. The incumbent said he wouldn't change anything he's doing based on how the polls swing. CBS 21 News spoke with voters following Perry speaking to the rotary club. Many said they weren't looking at poll numbers either. “I don't actually entertain the polls too much. It's not something I try to worry about,” PA voter, Adam Saupel said. “Whatever happens happens on the actual day, and so I don't get to worked up about the polls.” Perry said getting out to speak with voters is so important with less than a week remaining until Election Day. Voters like Saupel agreed. “I think there's plenty of constituents that fall in the middle somewhere and their votes are potentially impacted based on these more personal interactions, rather than a TV ad or a newsletter,” Perry said. Perry is continuing to campaign in York County on Wednesday night. He will be hosting a rally in Franklintown, kicking off at 7:15 p.m. As for Perry's challenger, Janelle Stelson, she is expected to be joined by Gov. Josh Shapiro for a campaign event on Thursday in Carlisle.

Looking at PA's U.S. Senate Race: how it could possibly flip the U.S. Senate majority by Elise Person Mon, November 4th 2024 at 2:26 PM This combination of photos taken in Pennsylvania shows Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., left, at a campaign event, Sept. 13, 2024, in Wilkes-Barre, and David McCormick, the Republican nominee for Senate in Pennsylvania, at a campaign event, April 25, 2024, in Harrisburg. (AP Photo) Republican candidate Dave McCormick is taking on Democratic Senator Bob Casey. The latest numbers from Real Clear Polling show Casey pulling ahead of McCormick by just over two points. Democratic political insider Mark Singel said he believes McCormick has been Casey's toughest challenger. However, he said he believes Casey will still win. “Bob Casey's gonna win this between three and four percent of the vote in Pennsylvania and that's not huge, but it is beyond the margin of error,” Singel said. Republican political insider Charlie Gerow said he believes McCormack has picked up enough speed coming into Election Day. “Campaigns are like football games. They're run on momentum, and Dave McCormack clearly has the momentum,” Gerow said. According to Real Clear Polling, in mid-August, Casey was pulling head in the polls by nearly eight points. Since then, the polls have tightened. “I think you'll see an upset. I think you'll see Dave McCormick is gonna win this seat. He's been the little engine that couldn't throughout the campaign, just chipping away, chipping away, chipping away at the Casey lead,” Gerow said. The economy has been a top issue for voters through this election season. Casey said he's looking to take on corporate greed to put money back in the pockets of Americans. “Bring price gauging investigations, hold them accountable, roll back big corporate tax breaks. It's one way to combat the higher prices that families have seen for food and household items,” Casey said. Whereas, McCormick said he's looking to cut wasteful spending, oppose tax increases, and create more jobs. “I have lived the American Dream,” McCormick said. “The America I know is not the America I see right now.” Both Casey and McCormick will be watching the numbers come in on Nov. 5 from their hometowns. Casey will be in Scranton, and McCormick will be in Pittsburgh.
