More than 2,000 registered Republican and unaffiliated voters in Westchester County, New York, switched political parties and re-enrolled as Democrats ahead of the party’s congressional primary, which pits Squad member Rep. Jamaal Bowman against longtime Empire State elected official George Latimer.

"Westchester Unites, a campaign of Teach Action Fund, has successfully re-enrolled over 1,660 voters in New York’s 16th Congressional District ahead of the Feb. 14 deadline, representing 13% of their targeted group – a figure that outpaces similar efforts, signaling sky-high interest in the primary among Jewish voters," Westchester Unites said in a press release this week, which was provided to Fox News Digital.

More than 2,300 voters in Westchester County’s portion of New York's 16th Congressional District - Bowman's Distrcit - switched to the Democratic Party between December and Valentine's Day, the deadline in order to vote in the primary, LoHud reported this week. Only registered Democrats are able to vote in the primary election, which will be held on June 25.

Westchester Unites is a group that's been at the forefront of the push to re-enroll voters, mostly Jewish residents, as Democrats.
