Are the net gain (for republican party) based on net republican - net democrat?
As I said in the methodology, if both parties gain, it’s shown as a “+R” or “+D” depending. If both parties fall, same thing.
So in NJ, both parties fell a lot, but Ds lost 40,000 more. So that was R+40k net change.
Several states show lower reg after a major election-—NC, PA.
AZ has increased. In some cases, the population is shrinking (i.e., PA, NJ). Regardless, there is no way to possibly spin these numbers as good for Ds in any way shape or form.
A month ago I did CA, OR, NV, NJ, CO, IA, MD, NJ, NH, and ME.
Only in CA, OR, and CO did Ds have a plus number. I didn’t include NH because it hasn’t been updated, and I haven’t yet gone back to IA, MD, NV, DE, NJ, or ME.
