The numbers are in, and Democrats are up in Pennsylvania.
On March 24, the final day to register voters for the April 22 primary, more than 33,000 new voters registered as Democrats.
Additionally, nearly 46,000 registered voters switched their party affiliation to become Democrats before the primary between Democratic presidential candidates Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton.
Republicans registered 6,000 new voters, and 1,800 voters switched their affiliations to join the party.
There are now roughly 900,000 more Democrats registered in the state than Republicans, according to the Pennsylvania State Department.
Many of these Democratic registrations were due to an intense effort from the Obama campaign to register new Democrats and to convince voters to switch into the party.
In most states, Independents and Republicans have supported Obama over Clinton.
At Penn, the Penn Democrats reported registering more than 2,400 new voters, roughly 10 percent of the overall student population, over the course of several weeks.
