A confidential memo circulated among top Democratic donors has sparked a furious debate in Democratic circles about whether to narrow the focus of voter registration efforts to avoid signing up likely Republicans.
For decades, nonpartisan groups allied with the Democratic Party have run wide-ranging efforts aimed at increasing voter registration among people of color and young people — groups that tend to lean Democratic but have historically voted at lower rates than older and White people.
In recent years, however, there has been a marked shift among the roughly one in five citizens of voting age who are unregistered toward Republicans, raising fresh questions about how much boosting nonpartisan voter registration could help presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump heading into November.
Aaron Strauss, an influential data scientist who helps direct progressive spending at the firm OpenLabs, sparked private disagreements over this issue in January when he sent about a dozen major Democratic donors a confidential memo that challenged traditional nonpartisan registration.
“Indeed, if we were to blindly register nonvoters and get them on the rolls, we would be distinctly aiding Trump’s quest for a personal dictatorship,” Strauss argued in the memo, which was obtained by The Washington Post and cited recent polling that showed Trump’s strength among unregistered voters.
He also warned that efforts to gain Democratic votes among younger and non-Black people of color were often expensive — costing more than $1,200 per net vote in 2020, by one estimate — because the groups now include so many non-Democrats. Among voters of color, he wrote that “only African American registration is clearly a prime opportunity,” adding that netting Democratic voters among Black people cost approximately $575 per vote in 2020.

Young people might as well sign up to enlist in the draft for the coming war in The Ukraine as they sign up to vote Democrat.
All the propaganda in the world can’t keep them from noticing that their standard of living is collapsing under biden.
Love how “non-partisan” groups are trying to figure out how to do partisan targeting of people to register. Hmmmm…
They'll stop registering the Hispanics because a good number of them actually vote Republican.
Young voters are waking up to the fact they have been played by the dems.
Mostly young guys because all the institutions are catering to women.
“Non partisan” has always been code for leftist fanatics.
It is “democracy” when Democrats win, “dictatorship” when Republicans win.
Lol.
You mean “communism” when the Democrats win?
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) aka North Korea is what the left means by “democracy”.
The Compost actually confessed here:
“nonpartisan groups allied with the Democratic Party”
That’s a mistake. Or they don’t care. They know the fix is in. So they don’t have to bother to hide anymore.
I think the DIE writers at the Compost don’t even know what the word “nonpartisan” is supposed to mean.
I am not sure what the editor’s excuse is.
Some people figuring BIDEN IS A DISASTER.
There’s a good possibility that the FIBbies will be filming young people at the polls and start arresting them after the violence they caused voting after the far left RATs defeat in the 2024 election. The Lizard and Zinger are standing by.
Young and minority voters have been walking funny sense Biden got in the WH democrat party confused.
They’ll do as they’ve always done- register non-existent “voters” wherever they can get away with it.
Joe Biden is over the top corrupt. He's senile. The Democratic Party is doing everything possible to make sure that the election's rigged.
So that's why you have some folks who are not with the program. The Democrats do not control X and TikTok so they're not able to indoctrinate every voter.
The Democratic Party makes Xi proud corruption is the rule of the day.
