Republicans Are Winning the Voter Registration Battle in Battleground States

The Epoch Times Header

In Pennsylvania, Nevada, and North Carolina, the Republican Party is cutting into the Democratโ€™s advantage of registered voters.

Republicans are closing the gap on voter registrations in key swing states. Political observers say it could be a sign the party will perform well in November.

The gap between registered voters in the Democratic Party and Republican Party shrank significantly in Pennsylvania, Nevada, and North Carolina, according to voter registration statistics collected in April. 

Taking the combined voter totals in the three states, Republicans have eroded the Democratic registration advantage by more than 54 percent between 2019 and 2024.

In Arizona, a fourth critical state, Republicans extended their lead in registered voters by more than 71 percent during the same period.

The four states are among the most prized possessions in presidential politics. Collectively, they represent 52 electoral votes. In 2020, Joe Biden carried all except North Carolina. In 2016, Donald Trump took everything but Nevada.

The registration trends donโ€™t necessarily mean Republicans will sweep the states, but theyโ€™re a sign that the GOP will be able to more easily target and turn out its voters in those states than it did in 2020.

โ€œOn balance, you’d certainly rather have more registrations in your direction than the other direction,โ€ Daniel Hopkins, a professor at the University of Pennsylvaniaโ€™s Ronald O. Perelman Center for Political Science and Economics, told The Epoch Times.

Pennsylvania

The largest numerical shift occurred in the Keystone State where the Democrat lead has shrunk by some 400,000 votes since May 2019.

In May 2019, more than 4 million were registered as Democrats, and about 3.2 million were registered Republicans, according to voter registration data collected by the Pennsylvania Department of State.

By the end of April, almost 3.9 million Pennsylvanians were registered as Democrats, while nearly 3.5 million were registered as Republicans. 

During the same period, the total number of registered voters increased to more than 8.7 million from nearly 8.5 million. The electorate registered with the Libertarian Party or โ€œother parties,โ€ as the state identifies them, remained relatively stable at 1.2 million during the same period.
