Democrats and Republicans differ on voter registration outreach

In Clairton Pennsylvania Linda Graham campaigns five days a week to sign up unregistered voters as Democrats. She is one of thousands whose work shifts election math. Obama Clinton primary energy boosted Democratic rolls while Republican registrations declined. Democrats expect gains in Pennsylvania Nevada and Florida to help Obama. Republicans boast a high tech GA ground game led by the RNC with state partners. The two parties mobilize enough unaffiliated voters to tilt battleground outcomes. The AP notes about 42 million Democrats and 31 million Republicans nationwide.
