I spent a good chunk of time Sunday looking into recent trends in voter registration.  I was unable to find anything that gave a good state-by-state rundown (maybe someone here who is more proficient at using The Google can help).  Most of what I found, the good stuff with raw numbers, was on the county or district level.  Most of what I found blew me away.  In some cases the Democratic numbers are, quite literally, off the charts.  I was unable to find a single county or district in this entire country in which the Republicans were outpacing the Democrats in registering new voters.  I'm sure some exist, but I challenge you to find one.  It ain't easy.

I'm wondering now about claims from the Obama camp about bringing new voters into the party.  I don't know how to prove or disprove those claims without scientific polling of newly registered Democrats, but correlative data (especially in younger age cohorts) does seem to support these claims.
