Registered Dems exceed Republicans in San Bernardino County

According to numbers posted on the Registrar of Voters Web site this morning, registered Democratics now exceed registered Republicans in San Bernardino County.

The county has long been a Republican stronghold, but political experts credit enthusiasm for the upcoming election for the recent increase.

The Democrats' registration efforts seemed to be stymied just weeks ago when a voter fraud scandal implicating a Republican political campaign company unravelled in the county. The head of Young Political Majors was arrested and charged with two felonies slightly more than a week ago.
