    103% ? All of them, plus they killed 6 independents? What a stupid title.

      103% increase. The number of people leaving increased by a factor of 1+1.03 = 2.03. Which is to say, the number of people leaving more than doubled, which would have been a better title, but either way there is nothing wrong with math in the title per se.

        103% sounds like a lot. 60k outof 4 million is not a lot. Title is stupid clickbait.

          depends on how you contextualize it. Biden only won PA by 80,555 votes in 2020. In that context 60,000 voter registration flips to republican is a lot.
