Article Highlights

* "the effect of the pandemic on voter registrations was severe. Department of moter vehicles closures, stay-at-home orders and restrictions on large gatherings limited opportunities for new registrations."

* "Late last month, the Democratic data firm TargetSmart found that while new voter registrations had plummeted amid the coronavirus pandemic, those who were registering in competitive states tended to be whiter, older and less Democratic than before."

* "Last month in Iowa, where the race between Trump and Joe Biden is surprisingly close, Republicans nosed back ahead of Democrats in active registrations after ceding the lead to Democrats for the first time in years."

* "Republicans point to their improved standing in registration compared to 2016 in Florida, North Carolina and Pennsylvania — all states Trump won that year despite Democrats holding a wider registration advantage than they do now."

DEMs registering as GOP to throw off the polls, plus having the GOP waste time on voters who have no interest in voting GOP.

The Dems reply, “I see your increased registration and match with mail in voting. You have no chance.”

Humor aside, we KNOW there will be WIDESPREAD cheating in this election. We had better be prepared to fight back.

HARD!

Yawn.

Dems don’t bother registering. They just vote a few dozen times wherever there’s a voting location. If none are convenient, they just mail in a few dozen with names from gravestones.

A relative GOP advantage in new registrations is consistent with the election prediction model of Helmut Norpoth. Based on the relative enthusiasm of primary voters, it gives Trump a 91% chance of victory this fall. Norpoth’s model was one of the few that predicted Trump’s win in 2016.

“older and less Democratic than before.”

Less Democratic?

This is why “Democrat” replaced “Democratic”.

Yes, all about enthusiasm. Any Biden supporters who are determined to cast their vote for Old Joe will get themselves registered. Obviously there are plenty of determined Trump voters out there who are making sure they get registered.

The Republicans, Independents, and anyone who believes in our Constitution and Rights had better understand what is going on with Biden...the left/Dems are not voting for him, they are paving the way for a return of The Obama's!

Dixon Diaz has spelled it out....

DMVs are closed or restricted. Serving fewer customers. People are talking was less to their neighbors, which may be the left’s plan.

If no one talks is talking to their neighbors and coworkers about the world and politics then people only hear the public media narrative.

And like it or not, the Demwits have to be swept out of power in the House, even if you have to hold your nose.

But but but!!!

We’re registering as Republicans so we can vote for Biden in November like those really smart Republicans on the internet told us we should!

I mean, they wear bowties and everything! They’ve got to be wicked smart, right?

Not every Dem is a marxist idiot who wants a Communist America, my Mom is a registered Dem, but she has voted Republican ever since George W Bush, she stays registered as a Dem because we live in SoCal, she doesn’t want anyone knowing who she votes for out of fear
