Freshman Rep. Steve Watkins (R), who's charged with voter fraud, starts out as the underdog in the #KS02 GOP primary. He's trailing state treasurer Jake LaTurner (R) 47%-28% in the very early going. — PolitiTweet.org

Strong start for grocery chain heir/Army veteran Peter Meijer (R), who's out to a 51%-25% lead over Lynn Afendoulis (R) in #MI03 for GOP nod in Justin Amash (I)'s open seat. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, came across a GOP poll in a suburban, red-state district Trump carried by double digits in 2016. Biden +8. — PolitiTweet.org

In my lifetime, 4/5 presidents have been reelected and the one exception happened when I was eight. Sometimes I wonder if the current political moment feels more abnormal to me than to someone born 20 years earlier. — PolitiTweet.org

None of this is to say that Dems don't have more room to fall in a lot of heavily "Trump Democrat" counties. They do. But the bottom line: we can't draw a lot of strong conclusions about 2020 based solely on party registration trends. — PolitiTweet.org
Dave Wasserman @Redistrict
Basically, what's happening: in many red counties in FL/PA, thousands of registered Ds who voted Trump in '16 have officially switched to R or, ahem, exited the electorate. But on balance, *new* registrants have skewed much more D/unaffiliated than R. https://t.co/p2UwRU7cjL — PolitiTweet.org

Start with PA, Dems have a 15 point advantage among those who have registered since Nov of 2016. https://t.co/DTgaZPY3NP
Dave Wasserman @Redistrict
This @Axios story appears to take the Trump campaign's narrative at face value, failing to account for the difference between *net* registration change (which has long favored GOP in FL, PA, etc.) and *new* registrations (which favor Dems). https://t.co/Zkbm8mAMyX — PolitiTweet.org

Reality check...here was #KY06's primary turnout in 2018: Democrats 100,419 Republicans 48,372 November result: Amy McGrath (D) 144,736 Andy Barr (R) 154,468 And FWIW, #KY06 voted for Trump by 15% in 2016. The entire state voted for Trump by 30%. — PolitiTweet.org

And before you go saying "there are four times as many people in Chester than Fayette!"...there are a lot more PA voters who live in places like Fayette than Chester. — PolitiTweet.org
Dave Wasserman @Redistrict
Not making this up: so far in 2020, party registration switches in Chester Co., PA (median income $96k) have run 83% pro-D. In Fayette Co., PA (median income $44k), they've run 82% pro-R. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict
If you're having a hard time wrapping your head around this concept, a good example is Fayette Co. in southwestern PA: In Nov. '16, its voter registration was 58% D, 33% R. It voted 64%-33% for Trump. Today, its voter registration has narrowed to 51% D, 39% R. — PolitiTweet.org
Dave Wasserman @Redistrict
In other words, it's possible - even likely - that the universe of voters *exiting* the PA electorate is both: 1) more heavily Dem in party registration 2) more heavily pro-Trump ...than the universe of voters entering. — PolitiTweet.org
Dave Wasserman @Redistrict
So, what's going on in PA? Likely a continuation of long-term trend of Trump-voting registered Ds dying out or formally switching to R. Per @tbonier, total *new* registrations since Nov. '16: +415k D +282k R +226k Other — PolitiTweet.org

@ChazNuttycombe p.s. Fun fact about my time at the Crystal Ball (swear I've never told @kkondik or @JMilesColeman this): My writing process was to hit up Raising Cane's (which was new to Cville then!), bring it back to the office, and write my articles between like 10pm-3am.

@Nate_Cohn And FWIW, Biden still being unsure what to do at this stage doesn't mean the process is "off" or "unusual." Most recent nominees probably hadn't fully made up their minds at this stage. — PolitiTweet.org

A million potentially valid theories as to what’s going on but I’ll throw out one: Biden initially wanted Klobuchar, but that ship sailed a long time ago and he’s still not sure what to do. — PolitiTweet.org
