New Voters
A WaPo frontpager adds more data on new voter registrations.
Besides Virginia, these are huge numbers in some pretty small states. (400,000 in Nevada! 500,000 in Indiana!)
Maryland election officials said Tuesday that they expect 250,000 new voters to register by next month's deadline. More than 280,000 Virginians have registered to vote since the beginning of the year.
In the battleground state of Nevada, there are 400,000 more voters registered than four years ago. More than 500,000 have registered in Indiana since the beginning of the year....

The trick is to get ALL of the folks to show up at a specific place within a 10-12 hour window on a specific date.... This has always proved the weak link for the American voter (or non-voter).

Very much so, but a few points.
1) Early voting, available in almost every state now, makes that alot easier because you can contact multiply.
2) Even if only half the new registrants show up, you're still talking percentage points in these new states.
3) New registrations are just part of the higher turnout expected. You gotta figure that there are irregular voters that are likely to show up, too.
