Analysis: Dems hold 12-million person advantage among registered voters

BY BEN KAMISAR - 07/13/18 12:08 PM EDT

Democrats have a 12 million voter registration advantage over Republicans across the country ahead of November’s midterms, according to an analysis from the University of Virginia released Friday.

Analysts with Sabato's Crystal Ball, a prominent election handicapper and political analysis team run out of the university, found that Democrats make up 40 percent of voters in states that register their voters by political parties. Republicans make up 29 percent of those voters, while independents make up 28 percent.

Just over half of states register voters by party, with Democrats holding an edge in 19 of the 31 states that do, according to Crystal Ball. Republicans are the plurality in 12 states, while independents make up the plurality in 10 states.

I have no way to accomplish this logistically, but we could entirely change the dynamics of this country (and have a government who was more representative of it) if we could strategically move 100,000 blue voters into South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana.
