Former registered Democrats in Pennsylvania who now support former President Trump predict a wave of traditional Democrat voters quietly pulling the ballot box lever for the Republican ticket over Vice President Kamala Harris in the key battleground state this year. 

"This is Lackawanna County, okay. This is Scranton. This is where Joe Biden was born. This is where Robert Reich was born. Hillary Clinton has ties here with her family. This was a deep, deep blue county. But, when you walk into the poll, I think a lot of these people are going to are going to think twice and think, 'well, nobody knows how I'm voting - which is the way it's supposed to be - I'm going with Trump,'" registered independent voter David Kveragas told Fox News Digital in a Zoom interview this week. 

Kveragas is a resident of the battleground county of Lackawanna, which is nestled in Pennsylvania's Wyoming Valley and has traditionally voted blue, last throwing its support behind a Republican in 1984 during President Reagan's blowout election when he won each state except Washington, D.C., and Minnesota - the home state of Reagan's competitor that year, former Vice President Walter Mondale.

The county has trended right in recent elections, however, teeing up a heightened election battle that will likely help determine how the key battleground state will swing come Nov. 5.

Fox News Digital spoke with three Lackawanna County residents who were all previously registered Democrats who now full heartedly support Trump, despite initial hesitance and even outright disapproval during his first presidential run in 2016. 

Susanne Green is a former Democrat who even previously worked for Planned Parenthood in Washington, D.C., as the abortion provider's financial manager and now supports Trump and is actively involved as a volunteer for the campaign.
