Weiner Team Publishes Detroit News Oped On Democrats' Registration Failure in 2024 Election; Plus Radio-TV

WASHINGTON, D.C., DC, UNITED STATES, December 10, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Weiner Team Publishes Detroit News Oped Democrats' Registration Failure in 2024 Election, Ranked #1 in OpEd News; &Radio-TV since the election

On December 6, 2024, Robert Weiner and Ting Cui published an article in the important Detroit News, and December 8 ranked H1 (#1 oped nationally) by OPED NEWS, titled "Democrats’ Serious Organizing Failure Led to Loss," on the fact that for the first time in modern electoral history, the Democratic Party registered fewer new voters than the Republicans ahead of the 2024 election. The piece argues how the Democrats’ lack of voter registration efforts including rejecting a key CBC offer to help cost them critical battleground states—and ultimately, the presidency.

The authors say, "This was the first election in our lifetimes where Republicans outpaced Democrats in registering new voters nationally. Democrats previously held that advantage, but let it slip away this time around."

The national number of registered voters in the 2024 election was roughly 161.4 million (64%), down from 168.3 million (66%) in 2020. According to the University of Florida’s Election Lab, 245 million people were eligible to vote, but close to 90 million did not. While Republicans executed a focused ground game, Democrats concentrated on turning out existing voters rather than expanding their base. Tapping into this pool could have offset any Democratic losses due to voters switching parties and others staying home.

Robert Weiner, a political strategist who directed the Democrats’ youth voter registration efforts during Watergate and later worked at the White House and in senior positions on Capitol Hill, contrasts the 2024 campaign with past successes. When he directed the Democrats' youth voter registration efforts at the Watergate DNC headquarters in 1972, young voters registered with the highest percentage.

The authors provide registration loss numbers in all the swing states. They argue that The Democratic Party's messaging challenges—from its handling of Gaza to its tendency to exclude divergent voices—certainly contributed to their defeat. However, no message can overcome a basic numerical disadvantage, no matter how compelling. "If you don't have the voters, you can't win the votes," they conclude.
