New voter registration data reported by The New York Times signals a potential crisis for the Democratic Party, as it shows a significant shift in party affiliations across the U.S. From 2020 to 2024, Democrats lost 2.1 million registered voters, while Republicans gained 2.4 million in the 30 states that track party affiliations, resulting in a net swing of 4.5 million voters.
Ed Hale, a Maryland businessman and former Democrat who recently announced his candidacy for governor as a Republican, is an example of one of the people who made the switch. He initially signaled he'd be running as a Democrat earlier this year, before changing parties.
"I don’t see much of that I agree with with the way the Democrats are going right now, I just don’t," said Hale after his announcement.
The data highlights erosion in Democratic voter registration advantages in key battleground states such as Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina. In Pennsylvania, Democrats' lead over Republicans in registered voters has dwindled from over half a million in 2020 to just 53,000 as of this summer.
Casey Burgat, a political science professor at George Washington University, says this isn't a one-off problem. Instead, it illustrates a long-running issue that the party failed to address.
"Democrats for years and years now have faced a branding problem, a messaging problem, that has led to people, especially with younger voters, choosing the other team," Burgat said.
The decline in voter registration may have been a missed warning sign for Democrats, who suffered significant losses in 2024, losing both the White House and the popular vote to Donald Trump.

This is actually pretty big news
But watch out for ‘if we can’t beat them from our party, let’s add to the corruption within theirs by running under the pretense of being one of them”.
Die commie scum....or sumthin
That has certainly been going on for decades ever since RR.
Notice how this is deemed concerning news. The headline could have been “Republicans enjoy huge shift towards GOP in voter registration”.
Yes, it is big news.
Oh look Democrats running as Republicans just so they can stay in office. Country will look like the state of TX in no time.
It’s worse for the Dems than this.
Guess what many of the “deported” would have voted for (and some do vote)?
And Trump is pushing to have many of the mail in ballots nixed (voter harvesting)...
How the census counts is being modified (more accurate) as well.
I read in the liberal news about how they predict huge blue gains in the next elections: “optimism / gains in the House”

We just have to fake out our voters to think Trump is on the midterm ballot. That seems to be the only time we do well is when he’s on the ballot.
Good. They’re evil ————insane. Only the amoral or irrational would be associated with the Democrat Crime Syndicate.
The net gives young people of all races a chance to be stars and get rich. They like the chance to be stars and get rich.
This explains why Democrat protestors are now mostly ancient hippies and trans-peeps who have nowhere else to go.
Who with half a brain supports the crap today’s democrat party stands for.
Illegals, criminals, sexual freaks, etc. etc.etc.
The gay, woman, beta male, minority, & climate change
party is having a hard time registering voters.
I’m crying in my coffee.
What has become of this world?
But the democrats still have 20 million votes from nonexistent people at the start of every election.
It will take a lot more shifts from dem to GOP to overcome that head start the Dems have.
They’re evil ————insane. Only the amoral or irrational would be associated with the Democrat Crime Syndicate.

Which is why an increasing number of those who’ve been successfully indoctrinated by the Marxist-Democrat Party are finally waking up.

That small crowd of lunatics protesting at Union Station in D.C. a day or two ago were almost all white-haired old hippies. Lots of these old hippies still striving to be relevant.
See, the American people aren’t as stupid as the Democrats think they are.
The Left has destroyed the college experience so many parents and young people see college and education as as worthless young people see the liberal vision as hopeless.

Many of them will be dead before 2028, the ones that aren’t.
I want them in a nursing home with a foreigner wiping their ass, while Trump’s Republican successor takes the oath of office on January 20, 2029.
