Bucks County
Registration:
As of May 8, 2013:
Republican - 175,105
Democrat - 186,222
Others - 66,911
Republican - 175,105
Democrat - 186,222
Others - 66,911
Total - 428,238
Bucks does not (that I could find) provide an overall vote total by party, but looking at election results and taking the largest number of votes for any county-wide candidate, here is an estimate of the number of voters by party
Republican: 25,605 (number of total R votes for prothonotary) (14.6% of registered voters)
Democrat: 16,621 (number of total R votes for Superior Court judge) (8.9% of registered voters)
If my numbers are correct (never a sure thing), the R's came out in much greater numbers than the D's.
Delaware County
The Delaware County Daily Times reported on October 26, ("Democrats close gap with GOP among registered voters in Delaware County " by Danielle Lynch):
As of Monday, there were 397,773 registered voters in Delaware County, according to figures released by the county and Pennsylvania Department of State. Of that total, 176,252 are Republicans and 174,890 are Democrats, which leaves 46,631 registered with other parties or without affiliation.
Looking at the unofficial election results and, again taking the largest number of votes for any county-wide candidate, here is an estimate of the number of voters by party:
Republican: 23,243 (for Mary McFall Hopper for Sheriff) (13.2%)
Democrat: 14,482 (for Superior Court judge candidates) (8.2%)
Again, a notably larger group of Republicans came out to vote than did Democrats.
It looks like Dems need to shift manpower from registration to turnout.
