Ping.
If you go to the chart, these are exactly the same numbers I use every month.
The difference is, I calculate from 2016 how many the Ds have lost/gained vs. how many the Rs have lost/gained.
When you look at it that way, Rs have gained NET in every battleground state except CA.
Now, I’m wondering how they are showing D “registration gains” when in fact in ONLY three of these states-—AZ, NV, NM, NC, IA, PA, FL, NH, ME, DE, CO-—have the Ds actually gained any new registrations at all (13,000 in AZ, 100 in DE, about 1000 in CO). But in AZ, Rs have gained 30,000.
I suspect this article is jimmied around CA and NY, where indeed there have been large D registration increases (1m in CA as of last July when I quit tracking).
But notice also, they have NO real data at all on GA, TX, OH, MI, WI, or VA because those states do not register by party. So if they say they do, it’s a lie. TX would easily compensate for CA and GA, OH, etc would offset NY.
In short, there are big, big problems with this article.
