Rubbing It In: Republican Registration Report

The big picture was seen here.

Now a look at the local action, as we report on the L.A. Times reporting on the L.A. County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's report:

According to the report, the number of registered voters in L.A. County increased by nearly 10% since 2008. Voters under the age of 30 now make up the largest proportion of L.A County’s voters, about one in five. About 19% of registered voters declined to state a party affiliation, just three percentage points less than identified as Republicans. Democrats were 50% of the county’s electorate.

It's the Internet sucking in the kids.

County officials said that although voter registration in the run-up to the 2008 election, going back to 2004, was “historic,” the number of voters registered in the last four years outpaced that. This year, the number of people registering spiked during September and October, not surprising given the Nov. 6 presidential election. But county officials said the jump in registrations was also explained by the fact that on Sept. 19, California allowed residents to register to vote online

“These figures suggest that online voter registration in Los Angeles County was immediately adopted as a popular voter registration method,” the report stated. “Of the 284,268 voter registrations received in the months of September and October, 42% were submitted online.”

At this rate, we'll have socialism Western Euro-style around 2050. (Just as the cities & everyone in them start drowning.)
