Voter registration in the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania is at a record high, with Monday serving as the deadline to register for the general election. As previously reported by Fox News, last year there were about 4 million registered Democrats and 3.2 million registered Republicans. 370K PENNSYLVANIA MAIL-IN BALLOT APPLICATIONS REJECTED: REPORTPresident Trump narrowly defeated Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania in 2016 by less than 1% – after former President Barack Obama carried the state by a 5.4 percentage point margin in 2012. Last week, it was reported that the state rejected about 370,000 mail-in ballot applications – primarily because the vast majority of them were duplicate requests. Another issue Pennsylvania voters need to be cognizant of is the “secrecy” envelope for their mail-in ballot – the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that if a ballot is not mailed in this extra envelope it is to be rejected.
