Voter registration for Republicans increased in three highly contested swing states while it dropped for Democrats, which could mean good news for former President Donald Trump, writes Newsweek.
North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Nevada have seen an increase in GOP voter registration, according to the news outlet, while both Republicans and Democrats lost registered voters in Arizona.
