New Jersey voter registration final pre-election update

While it'd be a bit overstated to say that New Jersey Democrats are in trouble because of the final voter registration figures, it isn't overstated to say that Democrats shouldn't worry about this year's election. This morning, the New York Post reported "The number of registered Republicans in New Jersey grew by nearly 31,000 this year — while the number of registered Democrats dropped by more than 11,000, new data show. Democrats still hold the overall edge in the Garden State, with a total of 2.5 million registered voters compared to about 1.6 million registered Republicans and 2.3 million unaffiliated voters."

Numerically speaking, that's still a significant lead for Democrats. The things that Democrats should worry about are the trend and the fact that Scott Presler is spearheading the NJ voter registration drive. These aren't things that are strengthening the NJ Democrat Party.

The fact that NJ Democrat registration dropped by 11,000 signifies a drop in the Democrats' message popularity, which, in turn, signifies lower voter enthusiasm. That's only part of the problem, though. The bigger problem is that NJ GOP registration increased by 31,000. This is just speculation on my part but I'm wondering if a significant, increased, number of independents aren't planning on voting GOP. People love voting for a winner.

Almost 8:00 minutes into this video, a NJ social worker said something that I've said multiple times:

She said "We are not ATMs!" She said that while talking about illegal aliens getting a ton of benefits. That's bad enough. This report multiplies the Democrats' miseries:

The voter registration drive gave the NJ GOP momentum to build off. This report about early voting totals multiplies the Democrats' miseries. While it'd be wrong to say that the NJ gubernatorial is over, Democrats appear to be fighting an uphill fight. I'd rather be in the NJ GOP's position.
