Here in western PA, outside of Allegheny County, it's R country when the votes are counted, but the Ds, until recently, held a registration advantage in my county. The gains just reflect the voting preferences now.

I'm sure some of the switches might be to vote in one party's or the other's primary or in an area that's heavily one party or the other. The primary is essentially the general election. If voters want to have a say in the local government, the primary is the time to vote.

However, there is still a good bit of ticket-splitting in PA.
