Voter Registration Deadline Approaching in PA
It's the final four for Pennsylvania. Voters have just four more days to register to cast a ballot in the April 22nd primary. And this weekend, the campaigns for the two Democratic contenders are on a full court press to get out the vote. WFMZ's Bo Koltnow reports. 

  >> Reporter: It's March madness in political campaign offices across the state. >> Meg: Non-stop, have people coming in here all the time. >> Reporter: Including 47 year James Burley, who will now be a first time voter. He registered today at Obama's Bethlehem headquarters. >> James: I'm hoping things will change. Takes a lot more than just one person though. >> Reporter: A first also occurred at the Clinton Camp in Downtown Allentown. >> I'm really excited to have found the campaign head-quarters. We're excited. >> Reporter: Francine Foster, an independent, switched her party affiliation to Democrat for the first time. >> Francine: A very interesting election...historical. >> Reporter: With less than 4 days to go until the March 24th voter registration deadline in the Keystone state. Campaigns are in a last minute push. >> (Volunteer on phone): If you want to vote, need to put your PA address. >> Reporter: The Clinton crew held an early morning registration drive at a Bethlehem salon. Obama's camp recruited Liberty High Schoolers. >> Are you registered to vote in Pa? >> Reporter: To sign up potential voters at Lehigh University...the key message...to get out the vote. >> If you want MaCain, or Clinton or Obama. >> Bo: As busy as today is, the campaigns tell me tomorrow will be busier. Hundreds of out of state volunteer's will hit the Lehigh Valley streets canvassing door to door. >> Reporter: But once the registration deadline passes Monday... the campaigns really heat up... working to get voters like Foster to see things their way. >> Francine: It's been awhile since I've had someone I've felt like voting for. >> Reporter: Bo Koltnow 69 News.
