Republicans Quietly Moving the Battlefield Closer Their Way in Voter Registration NumbersHannah Knudsen12 Aug 2024
Republicans are quietly moving the battlefield closer their way — and they have been doing so for a few years — and gaining advantages in key battleground states while Democrats are hemorrhaging voters.
Compiled data taking a look at key states shows a striking trend, as it is Republicans who seem to be quietly moving the needle in their direction as opposed to Democrats, who appear to be losing voters. This is not a recent phenomenon sparked by the Democrat Party’s decision to coronate Vice President Kamala Harris as their top of the ticket nominee — without the help of a single Democrat voter — either. This longer trend has been in the works for the last four years, resulting in a slow but sure swing in the GOP’s direction.

Another chart shows the gains and losses in the month of July alone, and the results are telling.
Some of the most significant gains for Republicans in the last four years have been seen in states including California, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, and West Virginia.
Florida recently made headlines for finally reaching a historic milestone, as the Republican Party of Florida announced that registered Republican voters now surpass Democrats with a one million voter advantage. This announcement came over the weekend, nearly three years after Gov. Ron DeSantis originally announced, in November 2021, that Republicans were overtaking Democrats in terms of voter registration for the first time in the state’s history.
Data from the chart coincides with that reality, showing that Democrats have lost 979,487 Democrat voters since November 2020. Republicans have not experienced any losses but have added 151,456 voters in the Sunshine State over that same time period.
Another, perhaps unexpected result: Republicans gained 148,823 registered voters in blue California, outpacing Democrats, who added 71,058 in the same time period. But in many of these states, Republicans are not only outpacing Democrats, but crushing them, boasting gains while Democrats are suffering devastating losses.
