Good news for Democrats?

MANIFESTO

TPM highlights this article wherein we find that
Since the last federal election in 2006 ... more than 2 million Democrats [have been added] to voter rolls in the 28 states that register voters according to party affiliation. The Republicans have lost nearly 344,000 thousand voters in the same states.
But it's been the case for years that Democrats outnumber Republicans. Thus, Republicans have had to play the game of voter suppression in many ways—from jamming phones to denying voter registration applications because of the paper they were printed on to outright hooliganism.

Given the new data and the inveterate desperation of the Repubs, I see no reason why similar incidents won't occur in the next eight weeks.
