Mail-in ballots: Democrats maintain massive advantage in Pa. and the Lehigh Valley
BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Democrats continue to dominate Pennsylvania's mail-in ballot voting method, which could give the party an advantage in November should the long-standing pattern hold.
State data shows that 895,166 Pennsylvanians successfully requested a mail-in or absentee ballot for the April 23 primary. Tuesday, April 16, was the deadline to apply for a mail-in ballot.
More than 72% of those are going to registered Democrats while about 26% are going to registered Republicans. The remainder are going to third-party or non-affiliated voters who may be eligible to vote on local referendum questions.
Democrats have dominated mail-in ballots since Pennsylvania reformed its election laws in December 2019.
