Certainly a relief. I'm still trying to make sense of how much voter registration is predictive or just a lagging indicator, but either way, it's something that I'd rather we be making gains in than the reverse!

Pennsylvania has closed primaries, so party of registration is more impactful here than in most states.
Some of it is definitely a lagging indicator (my own county, Mercer, maintained a Democratic registration advantage well after it became MAGAstan and Republicans started sweeping local offices by comfortable margins), but it's still not a trend I've enjoyed watching.
