The Republican Party has gained hundreds of thousands of new voters in the key battleground states of Florida, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, according to CNN.

Democrats still outnumber Republicans in those states, but the GOP has improved its standings, according to the CNN report.

In Florida since November 2012, 300,000 more Republicans were added to the voter rolls than Democrats, reports CNN. Democrats had 557,544 more registered voters than Republicans in 2012, now they are 259,000 ahead.

Since 2012, Democrats lost 195,000 white voters, while Republicans gained around 149,000, the report said.

Democrats in Florida saw an increase in Hispanic registration, with 92,000 Hispanic voters added. Two-thirds of those joined up between February and August of 2016.

Most of those increased numbers are "alt right,"

if one believes the rantings of the bitter #nevertrumps here.

Older, more white, uneducated, hardly fit to even be alive.

Surely not fit to decide our national politics, which

should be guided by their betters; e.g. educated elites,

who know better than the voters what is best for the nation.

It reminds me of when the Remain voters in the UK said that their votes were more important, because they have more life left to live.

With full disclosure that I do not have a dog in this fight, what is going on now in this presidential election is very interesting. Alot of tidbits and crosscurrents that tell me that Trump is not out of this, and that Hillary has some big problems. Not that either winning is of any help to the nation, just calling the race by the numbers and trends.
