No reason to be pessimistic in Pennsylvania [View all]

https://www.visitbutlercounty.com/map
Butler County (PA) resident here. Not much stock should be put into the amount of yard signs for political candidates one sees BUT I have never seen so many signs for Democratic candidates (specifically John Fetterman for Senate and Josh Shapiro for governor) in Butler County (+27% GOP registration advantage) in my life. In many election years, I see very few signs for Democratic candidates in Butler County. Another thing that I noticed is that the normal places and people that have signs for Republican candidates still have them but Democratic signs are appearing in places where I have never seen them before this year. This year is completely different in terms of the amount of Democratic yard signs. If one were to travel through Butler County (specifically the city of Butler and south) and not know any better one would think the party registrations would be a lot more even than a +27% advantage for the GOP. There is no reason to be pessimistic about PA. GOTV if you are a PA resident!
