Registration Success American Mind blog A Washington Post story on voter registration makes me feel better about GOP GOTV efforts. "After spending millions of dollars and untold energy to register voters this year, Republicans and Democrats are running neck and neck in registration drives in five battleground states, while Democrats have made notable gains in two others, a survey of recent figures suggests. Neither party has gained a significant registration advantage in such hard-fought states as Florida, Colorado, Nevada, New Hampshire and New Mexico, a Washington Post study shows. The strongest gains for one party belong to Democrats in Pennsylvania and Iowa." The paper notes that this doesn't necessarily mean registration means more votes for either party. It does mean the GOP is finally doing what it takes to find new voters. It may mean the GOP's GOTV operation (the best I've ever seen it) will complete with the veteran operations of the Democrats, labor unions, and other Lefty organizations.
