    And even at that, it seems more like the registration as a republican was more something she just forgot to update for a long time for her. Not like it was a recent shift in her views/voting

    “I did as many people did way back… I registered in the party that my parents were when I started out,” Stelson said. She said since she was in a job that required her not to participate in partisan politics, she had not given much thought to how she was registered.

    “And really, what matters to me is not how one is registered but how you vote. And I voted for Joe Biden, Josh Shapiro, John Fetterman, Hillary, Barack Obama. Bob Casey. And when I started seriously considering becoming a part of politics instead of covering it, I took care of business.”

      That’s a very central PA reason. My grandfather was one of those “voted for Eisenhower cause Lincoln won the war” Republicans until 2004.
