Indiana voter registration surpasses 2008 number by 200K

"INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- New numbers from the Indiana Secretary of State’s office show that 200,000 more residents have registered to vote in this year’s presidential election than four years ago.

The Indianapolis Star reported that 4.7 million residents are currently registered to vote -- more than the 4.5 million who were registered in the 2008 race between President Barack Obama and U.S. Sen. John McCain.

There is still more than a week to go before the Oct. 11 registration deadline.

"The Indiana Democratic Party and our campaigns are running a robust program, including voter registration, early voting and turnout efforts across the state,” said Drew Anderson, communications director for the Indiana Democratic Party."

Electoral Vote has tRUMP up by 7% in the latest poll which was three weeks ago so Indiana is not out of reach.

Two points:

1. President Obama carried Indiana in 2008.

2. Despite what Orangeboy thinks, Mike Pence is NOT popular. Even though he is the sitting governor it may not be enough if the Indiana race tightens given his popularity or lack thereof.
