Montgomery County Voter Data Shows Some Interesting Local Party Affiliations

While tomorrow’s elections just involves primaries for Democrats and Republicans, there are a bunch of people who do not affiliate with either major party.

We reviewed party membership, or lack of party membership, in Ambler, Upper Dublin, Lower Gwynedd and Whitepain, that was detailed in a document provided by Montgomery County.

A couple things jump out. There is one person in Upper Dublin and one in Lower Gwynedd who registered as an Adarian (that is a minor alien species in Star Wars).

There are two people in Whitpain Township who registered as Modern Whigs. Whigs were a major player in American politics prior to the Civil War. Today’s version states on its website that it is a “pragmatic, centrist, solutions-oriented political movement dedicated to the restoration of representative government in our nation.”
