Democrats Lose 4.5 Million Voters Nationwide to GOP Since 2020

Recent analyses reveal a significant and sustained decline in Democratic voter registrations across 30 states, with a net loss of approximately 4.5 million voters to the Republican Party since 2020. This shift has occurred in a wide range of states, including crucial battlegrounds like North Carolina, Florida, Nevada, and Pennsylvania, where Republican gains have eroded or eliminated previous Democratic registration advantages. Key Democratic demographics, such as men, younger voters, and Latino communities, are increasingly aligning with the GOP, contributing to this trend. Democratic leaders and analysts acknowledge the severity of this crisis, with some describing it as a 'big flashing red alert' and expressing concern over the lack of a clear recovery plan. This registration swing played a significant role in President Donald Trump's 2024 victory by enabling him to flip critical counties and states. Meanwhile, in India, concerns have been raised about potentially incorrect voter registrations in Bihar's bordering districts, which the Election Commission has clarified are draft rolls subject to correction, illustrating ongoing challenges in electoral processes worldwide.
