have majority Democratic party registration per this - http://www.dos.pa.gov/VotingElections/CandidatesCommittees/RunningforOffice/Documents/2017%20Election%20VR%20Stats.pdf (PDF)

That doesn't mean they have voted that way recently, however the way it was before, as a PA-9 & PA-18, you had more R blendage in there in terms of voter registration stats. The issue there is for Dems to either shit or get off the pot. They seem to vote (D) for local but not national.
