The right wing's Operation Chaos and the Pennsylvania Republican Party's attempt to re-register disaffected former Republicans have failed miserably.
Instead of regaining registrations following the recent primary in Pennsylvania, conservative efforts have neither stopped the flow of new Democratic registrations nor have they stopped the Republican Party's registration losses in Bucks County.
In the latest reporting period following the primary, Democrats have added to their countywide registration lead by more than an additional 1100 voters while the Republicans lost another 350.
The result is a Democratic registration lead in Bucks County of more than 5,000 voters. As of the first day in June, the current party totals according the Bucks County Board of Elections stand at 186,638 for the Democratic Party and 181,472 for the Republicans.
In the five months since the beginning of the year, Republicans have suffered a net loss of 5,595 registered voters while Democrats have enjoyed an increase of 20,273 voter registrations for a net change of nearly 26,000 voter registrations in just 5 months.
Clearly, voters in Bucks County are as interested in change as voters across the United States.
