US voter registration plummets during coronavirus pandemic, challenging both parties


The registration of new voters dropped dramatically in the USA amid the coronavirus pandemic, challenging efforts of both major political parties to enlist supporters in battleground states before the 2020 election.

"This is not something that's Democratic or Republican," Becker said. "Both sides rely on the months leading up to a presidential election to engage with potential new voters and get them registered and hopefully voting. And it's really hard to engage with a voter if you can't get them registered."

Well, from my link:

Despite the recent registration decline, over the entire pre-election period Republicans “have doubled the amount of new voter registrations … than we did in the entire 2016 cycle,” RNC press secretary Mandi Merritt told The Post. GOP canvassers added nearly 4,000 new voters to the polls over the July 4th weekend, she said.
