HARRISBURG, Pa. - The Democratic Party has registered 108,000 more new voters than the Republican Party since the April primary in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, according to figures released Tuesday.

The latest round of registrations, which closed Oct. 4, left Democrats with nearly 4 million people on the voting rolls, a 7 percent increase. GOP ranks increased by 4 percent to nearly 3.4 million. The number of registered voters in Pennsylvania stands at a record 8.2 million, a 6 percent increase since April.

Of 437,896 new registrants, 247,207 are Democrats and 138,864 are Republicans, according to unofficial totals from all 67 counties.

"Fantastic," said T.J. Rooney, the state Democratic chairman. "It means that the electorate in Pennsylvania, like most areas of the country, is charged. Certainly they've come out in unprecedented numbers to embrace" Sen. John Kerry's candidacy.
