Philly voter turnout increased, but dropped in many Black and Hispanic precincts — and that could be a problem for Democrats in 2024 (www.inquirer.com)

To Philly Democratic leaders, Tuesday night’s general election was a triumph.

It marked their best performance in an off-year general election in about 20 years and reversed a pattern of declining turnout in the party’s largest repository of registered voters.

But while turnout increased in Philadelphia this year — rising 10 percentage points from 2021, and 2 percentage points from 2019 — it didn’t grow as much as it did elsewhere in the state. And in Philadelphia the bounce back in turnout was largely concentrated in wealthier, predominantly white wards, according to an Inquirer analysis of unofficial results.
