REAL CALIFORNIA VOTER REGISTRATION—PER SECRETARY OF STATE
Some organizations are making fantastic claims of change in voter registration in California. One blasted out, with a request for money, that the GOP added 160,000 NEW voters. It did not mention how many the Democrats added or the loss of NPP voters.
Here are the official numbers from the Secretary of State website. It compares the 60-day report from September, 2020 to the 60 day report from September, 2024.
You will note the actual difference in 2024 is plus 22,000 for the GOP, NOT 160,000. Also note the LOSS of NPP voters, 148,000. And the loss of eligible registered voters by almost 2%.
Report Date Democratic Republican No Party Preference Other
Sept 6, 2024 10,279,189 46.07% Democrat –Sept 4, 2020 9,859,577 46.42%
Sept, 2024 GOP 5,534,782 24.81% Sept. 2020 GOP 4,890,230 21.92% ,
Sept 2020 NPP 5,038,380 Sept 2024 NPP 4,890,230 A LOSS OF 148,000
Very Important. Notice the number of eligible voters registered has gone DOWN by almost 2%
Since the last 60-Day Report of Registration for a General in a Presidential election year (September 4, 2020):
The total voter registration in the state increased from 21,240,236 to 22,310,352.

The phrase “tom/tom’s” comes from my mentor, Lorelei Kinder who never passed a rumor, just called to tell me what she heard on the “TomTom’s”. This column is named in her honor.)
