According to new data from Decision Desk, GOP voter registration in Pennsylvania vastly outpaced Democrats in July. Approximately 21,000 Republicans signed up to vote in the Keystone State in the month of July, whereas Democrats tallied about 5,000 registrations. WATCH: BREAKING REPORT: GOP voter registration in Pennsylvania now FOUR TIMES higher than Democrats.. pic.twitter.com/nXYL6g6lll — Chuck Callesto (@ChuckCallesto) August 15, 2024 Newsweek reports: The data also shows that since November 2020, the number of Democrats registered to vote in the state has decreased by more than 320,000. Meanwhile, the number of Republicans registered to vote has also dropped, but by a much smaller margin, with 1,400 fewer voters since 2020. Pennsylvania is among the 30 states, including the swing states of North Carolina, Nevada, and Arizona, which register voters by requiring a political party designation. If voters refuse to choose a party, they will remain unaffiliated. Overall, three million fewer people are registered to vote now compared to November 2020, when there were 121 million registrations, according to Decision Desk HQ. The drop is unsurprising given that The National Voting Rights Act (NVRA) allows states to conduct voter roll clean-ups between elections. However, Decision Desk HQ data shows a discrepancy in the drop in registered voters between the parties, with the Democrats losing 3.5 million registered voters nationally, while the Republicans have gained 141,000 registered voters. Florida, once considered the most important swing state, has approximately one million more registered Republicans than Democrats. Many people now consider the Sunshine State deep-red territory. Republican Party Of Florida Announces Voter Registration Milestone Newsweek noted that Republican voter registrations outpace Democrat registrations in 28 of the 30 states that require voters to register with a party. The tally didn't include Colorado and California. The Gateway Pundit labeled the GOP voter registration surge in Pennsylvania 'The Scott Presler Effect.' "Yes, we are making progress in Pennsylvania, but don’t slow down for a gosh darn second. I need more help registering new Republican voters across Pennsylvania," Presler said. Thank you for this story, @gatewaypundit. Yes, we are making progress in Pennsylvania, but don’t slow down for a gosh darn second. I need more help registering new Republican voters across Pennsylvania. https://t.co/omS9YHPHwf — ThePersistence (@ScottPresler) August 16, 2024 Pennsylvania Capital-Star noted: Just three weeks ago, Pennsylvania Republicans were cruising along as they continued to eat into the Democratic Party’s registration advantage in the Keystone State. Of course, that last voter registration update happened to be published right after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris. So, ahead of next week’s Democratic National Convention, we wanted to take a first look at whether Harris’ ascension caused any noticeable change in the numbers. As you can see in the map above, some of the commonwealth’s bluest counties are finally starting to get excited about this presidential contest. Before we get into that, though, let’s take a quick look at the overall numbers. Pennsylvania Democrats were able to reverse their slide – they lost 2,214 registrants between April and July for instance – and actually added 11,650 registrants in the past three weeks. On the other hand, over that same period of time Republicans collected 16,425 registrants while Independent and third parties brought in 11,871. As a result, the Democratic Party’s statewide advantage continued to shrink, from 360,982 to 356,207. "When President Trump won Pennsylvania in 2016, there were 916,000 more registered democrats than Republicans. Today, that lead has been narrowed to 356,000. Last year, we flipped Beaver County. This year, we flipped Bucks & soon will be Luzerne," Presler said. WATCH: When President Trump won Pennsylvania in 2016, there were 916,000 more registered democrats than Republicans.

New York City's migrant crisis has ballooned into a staggering financial burden, with the city spending nearly $5 billion on shelters, security, and food for asylum seekers since the influx began in the spring of 2022. This unprecedented expenditure has placed immense strain on the city's budget, raising concerns about the sustainability of these efforts as the migrant flow shows no signs of abating. According to Mayor Eric Adams, the city's current spending on the crisis is only the tip of the iceberg. Projections indicate that, without significant federal and state intervention, New York City could face a $12 billion bill by 2025. Adams, in a recent public address, described the nation's immigration system as "broken" and stressed that New York City has been left to "pick up the pieces." Nearly 100,000 migrants have arrived in the city over the past two years, with many requiring immediate housing, food, and security​. NYPD Assistant Chief Jason Savino explains that wolfpacks of teenagers from local "migrant" shelters have been preying on victims in Central Park. "Migrants" is enclosed in quotation marks because it is a euphemism for the term "illegal alien". The euphemism is employed to… pic.twitter.com/bpYfWUHLzz — Crime In NYC (@CrimeInNYC) August 15, 2024 The $5 billion figure, which includes about $2 billion on housing alone, is a significant portion of the city's overall budget. To put this into perspective, the New York Police Department's (NYPD) annual budget for 2024 is around $5.8 billion, highlighting how the migrant crisis has quickly become one of the city's most substantial financial obligations. The crisis is further exacerbated by New York City's unique "Right to Shelter" law, which legally obligates the city to provide timely accommodation to anyone in need. This law, intended to protect the homeless, is now being stretched to its limits as thousands of migrants flood into the city​. The city's shelters are overflowing, and many migrants have been forced to sleep on the streets. Images of migrants lying on sidewalks and using cardboard boxes as makeshift beds have circulated widely on social media, sparking national outrage. The city has scrambled to find more space, including repurposing state-owned sites like the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center in Queens, but the demand continues to outpace supply.

To date, the federal government has provided over $140 million in assistance, and the state of New York has allocated $1 billion towards housing, legal services, and National Guard assistance. However, these funds fall far short of what is needed to sustain the city's migrant support efforts over the long term. Governor Kathy Hochul has acknowledged the dire situation and hinted at further state funding, but the ongoing fiscal strain is undeniable​. Critics argue that the city's handling of the migrant crisis has been inadequate, with some pointing to the "Right to Shelter" law as a contributing factor to the overwhelming demand on city resources. They contend that the city's open-door policy, coupled with a lack of a robust federal immigration policy, has created a perfect storm that New York City is ill-prepared to weather. Others, however, defend the city's actions, emphasizing the humanitarian obligation to provide for those fleeing dire circumstances in their home countries. The financial implications of this crisis extend beyond the immediate costs of shelter, food, and security. The influx of migrants is also putting pressure on public services such as healthcare, education, and transportation. With the city's fiscal year 2025 approaching, Mayor Adams and his administration face an uphill battle in balancing the budget while continuing to meet the legal and moral obligations to care for the thousands of migrants in their midst​. As the situation continues to evolve, the call for a comprehensive overhaul of the nation's immigration system grows louder. Without systemic change and greater support from the federal government, cities like New York may be left grappling with the fallout for years to come.
