Alex Rose is proving that in Allegheny County, it's not so much that Democrats win, but also that Republicans lose.

On Election Day Eve, the mail-in ballot status:

In PA:
D: 585,948 returned out of 737,669 applications (79.43%)
R: 219,288 out of 280,912 (78.06%)
I: 72,714 out of 109,432 (66.45%)

In 2024, this was:
D: 1,036,617 / 1,188,303 (87.24%)
R: 617,104 / 708,202 (87.14%)
I: 221,338 / 277,837 (79.66%)

I'm beginning to compare the mail-in ballot statistics this year to those of last year from a statewide perspective and back to 2021 from an Allegheny County perspective. It's difficult to make direct comparisons with 2024 because of the push the Republicans made for same-day in-person voting.

There's nothing quite like a 12,984-page campaign finance report where the string "actblue" appears 90,581 times and "stripe" appears 45,044 times.

Newly discovered stat: there are 44 voters registered as members of the Whig Party in Pennsylvania.

This map shows how voters in Allegheny County who were registered in July 2020 and November 2024 moved during that time period. Areas in red show a net out-migration while areas in green show a net in-migration. This only includes voters who were registered in Allegheny County in both years.

Between the 2024 general election and 2025 primary, voters tended to move to Mt. Lebanon from Pittsburgh's Ward 19, Carnegie, Bethel Park and others, while voters tended to leave Mt. Lebanon for Scott, Upper St. Clair, and South Fayette, among other places.

This shows the parties preferred by new voters in Allegheny County who registered between the 2024 General and 2025 Primary.

Blue means more Democrats than Republicans/Independents

Red means more Republicans than Democrats/Independents

Yellow means more Independents than Democrats/Republicans

How party registration changed between the 2024 general and 2025 primary

% of Democrats went up in Blue, Green, and Purple areas, down in others

% of Republicans went up in Red, Orange, and Purple areas, down in others

% of Independents went up in Yellow, Green, and Orange areas, down in others

Congratulations to Haysville!

Between the 2024 general and the 2025 primary:

No voter was removed from the voter roles
No voter was added to the voter roles
No voter switched parties

In short, the only part of the county where there was no change whatsoever in voter registration is Haysville.

Judge of the Court of Common Pleas maps coming your way! Within these maps, and for each candidate, any precinct shaded in blue means that the candidate finished in the top eight, and any precinct in any shade of gray means they finished ninth or lower. The darker the shade, the lower they ranked.

597 Democrats in Allegheny County did not have their vote count in the Primary this year because they returned their mil-in ballots too late.

These maps show, for the Democratic primary for Judge of the Court of Common Pleas in Allegheny County, the candidate who received the most votes in city wards and municipalities in one, and the candidate who received the most votes in each voting precinct in the county in the other.
