where is the best site

[plcdude]

to find out how many registered democrats and republicans there are nationally and in individual states?

1. Voter reg rolls are maintained county by county.

So it's incredibly hard to find. Some states don't even require you to register your party affiliation.

At one point we wanted to build a national site for finding your polling place and gave up in disgust. The counties vary WILDLY as to what is available on website, and there is no rollup for many states. Same is true of voter data. I think CA maintains a statewide voter database, also NY, but others are totally county by county.

2. Thanks

I will keep searching but that is unfortunate.

3. Sure.

Google "statename" and "secretary of state," also "countyname" and "elections" or "election board" and you'll usually be able to find what you are looking for. For a specific county or state.

If you find national stats, POST 'EM. I'd love to see that.
