Your statistics are wrong. Fresh_Start Aug 2017 #2

What are you looking at? floppyboo Aug 2017 #4

You need to get a better source. Your numbers are wrong. brush Aug 2017 #8

You will not find such a source, because only 31 states enable voters to register by party. pnwmom Aug 2017 #50

You are also overlooking the fact that some partisans are strategic voters. pnwmom Aug 2017 #52

Not completely true. Hold outs and bitter enders made the diff. haveahart Aug 2017 #7

My Problem With Bernie DownriverDem Aug 2017 #21
