An estimated 153.1 million Americans have registered to vote, an increase of 10.1 million that sets the stage for a likely large turnout on Election Day, a non-partisan study reported Sunday.
American University's Center for the Study of the American Electorate estimated 73.5% of citizens 18 or older have registered, compared with the previous high of 72.1% set in 1964.
Curtis Gans, director of the center, said that the registration gains "could lead to a turnout of as many as 135 million" voters or about 65% of eligible citizens. That would be the highest since 67% of citizens 18 and over voted in 1960, he said.
Of course, Democrats added the most new voters with 2.9 million, while the Republicans lost 1.5 million voters.
The study estimated those figures based on registration in 19 of the 28 states and the District of Columbia that register voters by party.
Remember,Democrats and Republicans, that you vote on November 4th no matter some of those robo-calls may be telling you!
