92. We saw significant Republican crossover votes for James Malone in our precinct

Sun Apr 6, 2025, 07:12 PM

Apr 6

The small area of light blue shown in the far-right section of the 2025 PA 36-SD Special Election map is the 3rd Ward Ephrata Boro precinct, which is the only one of four Ephrata Boro precincts that James Malone won.

I am a Dem Committeeperson in this precinct, which has a +20 Republican registration edge. We canvassed heavily in this precinct, which proves that Dems can win in red districts if we reach out to the voters with a compelling message. We know how many Dems voted in our precinct and the numbers clearly show that there were a significant number of Republicans and Independents who voted for Malone to put him over the top.

We now believe that our totally worthless Congressman, Lloyd Smucker (PA 11) can be defeated next year. If we can pull that off it will send shock waves through both the PA GOP and the RNC, given that the PA 11th has been a reliable Republican district for all of its history. This seat was held by Thaddeus Stevens prior to and during the Civil War.
