GOP Registrations Up

Power Line's Scott Johnson posts data from the New York Times (behind their paywall) about voter registrations. Only 30 states register voters by party affiliation. 

The NYT aggregates those and finds that, over the period 2020-2024, Republican registrations have climbed 2.4 million while Democrat registrations have fallen 2.1 million. Johnson writes:

That four-year swing toward the Republicans adds up to 4.5 million voters, a deep political hole that could take years for Democrats to climb out from.

I expect you agree this explains a big part of Donald Trump's unambiguous win in 2024. I hope it has serious implications for the outcome of the 2026 midterm election.
