But the picture remains murky.
The Republican advantage is primarily due to declines among previous Democratic voters — deaths, moves out of state and voters removed after being inactive for long periods, as well as switches to the Republican Party.
Democrats are registering more new voters than Republicans. Nearly half of all first-time voters registered since 2013 were non-white, many of them Hispanic.

Most of the "new Republicans voters" are the last remnants of the working class White Democrats who have been voting Republican in general elections for decades. They just changed their voter registration. They are not actually new voters.
