Democrat insiders are sharing concerns that new voter registration efforts may be benefitting former President Donald Trump — not President Joe Biden.
The red flag was raised by an influential data scientist in an internal memo obtained by WaPo.
“Indeed, if we were to blindly register nonvoters and get them on the rolls, we would be distinctly aiding Trump’s quest,” Aaron Strauss wrote in the January memo, which was obtained by The Washington Post.

Strauss also suggested to donors that they should donate to groups that focus voter registration spending on “specific, heavily pro-Biden populations” like Black Americans.
For years, outside groups have helped the Democratic Party’s efforts aimed at increasing voter registration among people of color and young people — who tend to lean Democrat but traditionally have voted at lower rates than older and white Americans.
The last two New York Times/Siena College polls showed Biden leading by less than a percentage point among voters who say they voted in 2020, but trailing by 23 points among those who say they didn’t vote in 2020, the Times reported.
One third of those who did not vote in 2020 are new registrants, according to the Times.
Gallup polling last year and this year has found that about 42% of unregistered voters identify as Democrats or lean Democrat, compared to 40% who identify as Republican or lean Republican.
The trend is worrisome to Democrats because Gallup in 2016 found that about 51% of unregistered voter identified as Democrats or leaned Democrat, compared to 31% who identified as Republican or leaned Republican.
