In 2004 there were a total of 20611 votes cast for the Presidential election. 10727 (52%) were cast for Kerry/Edwards and 9753 (47%) were cast for Bush/Cheney. 1% went to other candidates.
I also thought I would link to a ridiculously detailed spreadsheet of voter registration patterns across Pennsylvania. They break down the numbers by County so you can look up Allegheny and see what has been happening at that level. Two thing about this spreadsheet. First, it is supposed to be accurate as of October 31, 2008. Not sure how the state can do anything that quickly, but ok. Second, it breaks down registration by age, new registrations, changed registration, active/inactive, new voter party, etc, etc, etc.
I am posting here on Google's site because its easier to share and forward to your friends. The original full featured spreadsheet can be found on the Department of State website here.
Hope you found this interesting.
