The New York Times today reported that beginning in 2005, voters registering as Democrats have climbed over a three year period that saw a reduced voter registration for Republicans. Surprisingly, Nevada and Iowa now can claim a majority of Democratic voters.
What are the long range effects for this political shift? Voting experts predict that this shift away from the Republicans may have an impact over several election cycles. This effect has already caused Democrats to win some Governorships and offices in several State legislatures.
What is startling is no shift has taken place over the past couple of years that has placed the Republicans as the majority party in a State where the Democrats still continue to hold the majority.
Change is here.
