The New Jersey Republican Party were able to outpace their Democratic Party rivals in the deep blue state, as the GOP outpaced Democrats in terms of new voter registrations.
Voter registration data for the state, which was released on November 1, found that the Republican Party picked up 16,945 new registrations in October. This more than doubled Democratic Party registrations in the same period, which registered just 6,015 people, according to a report from the New Jersey Globe.
Both major parties were eclipsed by a massive number of “unaffiliated” registrations in October. In total, 44,484 newly registered voters either did not list a party or registered as an unaffiliated voter last month.

Despite the gains, Republicans still have a mountain to climb in order to flip the longtime Democrat stronghold in a presidential election year. As of November 1, 2024, there are 6,727,358 registered voters in the Garden State, 2,534,932 of whom are registered as Democrats, while 1,628,633 voters are registered with the GOP.
