Ds leading Relief Society in registration by 12 million voters

Democrats hold a massive voter lead in states that require party registration, a gap of 12 million that could be key to whether the party takes control of the House and Senate in the fall midterm congressional elections, according to a new analysis.

Overall, 40 percent of voters in 31 party registration states are Democrats, 29 percent are Republicans, and 28 percent are independents, according to a new report of July numbers from the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics. The states include several with key battles over House seats such as California, New York, Florida, and Pennsylvania.

I'm looking forward to seeing the real polls in November. I'm in no mood for optimism right now.

12 million illegal voters, obviously.

The Russians will probably hack the computers and deregister the Democrats so Orange face keeps his majority in the Senate.

How does this contrast against previous election years?

Democrats often enjoy registration advantages because 1) There usually are more self-identified Democrats than Republicans and 2) Some longstanding registered Democrats are actually reliable Republican voters, especially in the South and Appalachia.

The question is if the registration advantage is particularly high this year, which would correspond to various other bits of data (polling, special election outcomes, ethusiasm gap measures, etc.) suggesting a substantial voter preference for Democrats this year.
