Democrat political watchers are elated at the stunning special election upset in a Pennsylvania state Senate race in solidly Republican Lancaster County, but their rush to cite Trump-hatred as the cause isn’t based in reality.
Democrat James Malone has won the 36th state senatorial district over Republican Josh Parsons, flipping the longtime Republican seat to Democrat with 482 more votes than Parsons. It was not quite a 1 percent margin.
The win was an incredible feat considering the 36th is a majority Republican district, with 97,834 registered Republicans, 55,243 registered Democrats, and 31,492 voters registered as members of other parties or nonaffiliated, according to data from the Pennsylvania Department of State.
