In Beaver County, Dems are outnumbered by Rs, but they outperformed at the polls on Tuesday, turnin out at 30.5% to Rs 19.4%.

In my township, which is heavily R ( 2 to 1), Ds outpreformed Rs in every precinct. Total turnout was 24.5%, D 32,4%, R 20%. Rs had several contested races, Dems had none except for the write-in for HD-14. In my precinct, turnout was 26.6%, D 34,5%, R 22.5% .

Turnout and overperformance is pretty much in line with what we've seen in the special elections around of around 10%.

Also did a cursory glance at the township R lt gov votes since there was a MAGA vs the "establishment" endorsed candidate. The challenger got around 1/3 or so of the R primary votes.
