2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Do you believe this? 20K Mass. and 42K Florida Democratic change reg. to Republican? [View all]Tony_FLADEM
(3,023 posts)30. I have been keeping track on the voter registration numbers in Florida
From the beginning of the year up until 1/31 both parties registered relatively the same number of voters. The Republicans a little more.
Then from 2/1 until 2/29 the Republicans registered about 75,000 new voters and the Democrats increased their numbers by about 42,000 voters over the same period.
12/31/2015 Republican 4,193,586 Democrat 4,520,265
1/31/2016 Republican: 4,209,039 Democrat: 4,534,845
2/26/2016 Republican: 4,281,582 Democrat: 4,574,264
2/29/2016 Republican: 4,284,600 Democrat: 4,576,036
So this might be accurate unfortunately.

Yes, the 1970's when there wasn't a President until Carter, then decimated by the Moral Majority.

I wouldn't presume they're doing it because they want Trump to be president.

He's always underestimated here. Out in real life, you'd see and hear his popularity

It shows the DNC is doing nothing about voter registration, low turn out helps conservatives
