Registration update
At just over a year to the next general election – close to the midway point – seemed a useful point to review the party voter registrations in Oregon.
A note: Ind refers to the Independent Party; non-af is nonaffiliated. None that the drops in the interim (which are across the board) are generally explained because of standard records purging.
| Month | Dem | Rep | Ind | non-af |
| Aug | 909,414 | 679,934 | 47,563 | 423,711 |
| May | 907,700 | 679,624 | 44,752 | 419,486 |
| Feb | 930,649 | 692,610 | 45,358 | 429,858 |
| Nov 08 | 931,318 | 694,589 | 43,030 | 429,758 |

Very stable.

Very interesting, especially how all categories but R’s show 1700 + increases after the purge, compared to 310 R’s.
The remarkable increase, seems to me, is in the Independent Party numbers, which only barely ticked downward from Feb-May, and are the only numbers higher in August 09 than in November 08. At this pace, they could reach major party status if they really made an effort to.
At the rate the Independent Party is going, they will overtake the Democrats in 142 years. That’s quite a pace.
