Is this this year's most underreported election story?

If you aren't paying attention to the shift from Democrat-to-GOP voter registration, then you're missing this year's biggest election stories. Yes, I meant plural. The first article that caught my attention was this article from Salena Zito about voter registration data. In the article, Ms. Zito wrote "Two weeks ago, Trump held a rally here that, as always, was massive. Voters attending said repeatedly that they were hopeful he would talk more about issues of the utmost concern to them: the economy and the border. He didn’t. They said that if he didn’t, it wouldn’t change their vote for him, but they worried he might lose the male suburban voters he needs to overcome the female suburban voters he lost."

These aren't the unthinking people that Trump supporters are often characterized as. They might not be scholars like Victor Davis Hanson but they have plenty of wisdom.

Ms. Zito continues, saying "In 2020, when Joe Biden narrowly defeated Trump, Democrats led Republicans in total voter registration statewide by a staggering 685,000. That Democratic advantage now sits at 347,789 as of early September, according to the Pennsylvania Department of State. One of the reasons that number has so dramatically shifted is that Luzerne County now has only 233 more registered Democrats than Republicans."

Joe Biden's Pennsylvania doesn't exist. Instead, a hybrid exists. As Democrats radicalize over the issue of fracking, people are re-registering as independents or Republicans. Duane Patterson wrote this article to highlight other shifts in the various states. Check this out:

The Republican Party, since 2020, have increased their voter rolls by almost 400,000 people. The Democratic Party in that same period of time have lost over three-and-a-half million. And for all the talk, including by me, that independents are a shrinking percentage of the electorate, the level of disgust with both parties has actually swelled the ranks of indies by a fairly significant 1.8 million. They're the ones up for grabs. They're the voters that are going to have to hold their nose and choose between two perceived bad options. Only one of those options is actually talking about policies and proposals that make a lick of sense, and that candidate definitely is not Kamala Harris.

To highlight some of the numbers that should make your eyes bug out as much as they did mine, look at North Carolina. Republicans have gained 36,422 new voters since 2020, while Democrats have lost 221,437 voters. Indies in North Carolina have exploded by a little over 400,000. It's hard for me to buy the concept that North Carolina is as close as polling indicates with this new baseline, and especially hard to believe that the increase in indies are breaking for Kamala Harris, the current vice president that caused many of them to leave the Democratic Party in the first place, as a brand-new agent of change.

Since the 1990s, 2 Democrats have won North Carolina's electoral votes. Their names are Bill Clinton in 1996 and Barack Obama in 2008. In both those years, those men won with ease. There isn't a snowball's prayer in H-E-Double-Toothpicks that VP Harris will win the election with ease. Finally, check this out:

There's lots of information for a political junky to pay attention to. The nitty gritty of voter registrations, in my estimation, speaks loudest. What say you?
