Former Professor of History and author of “How Trump Won” Larry Schweikart has scoured the voter registration rolls for key states.
Here is Schweikart with Steve Bannon on a recent trip to the White House:

Schweikart’s research shows that since November 2016, Republicans have registered a net gain of registered voters in several key states:
Voter reg updates since Nov
Both parties lost in normal purges of dead, etc-Net:
IA Rs +12k
PA Rs +100k
NC Rs +59k
NV Rs +6k
ME Rs +1300Trending: PROJECTION: Adam Schiff Now Suggesting Trump May Not Accept Outcome Of 2020 Election

Those are net gains, which means they are a combination of Democrats losing registered voters and Republicans gaining registered voters.
The key state in that group is Pennsylvania. Trump won Pennsylvania by 44, 292 votes. Since then, there’s a net gain of 100,000 registered Republicans!
This is important for the 2018 race for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania. In 2016, Republican Toomey won by only 86,690 votes. In 2018, Pennsylvania Republicans are running against incumbent Democrat Bob Casey, Jr.
Republicans have also gained in Arizona:

And Republicans gained in another important state: Florida!
FL net changes since Nov 2016
Rs +55,885— Larry Schweikart (@LarrySchweikart) August 8, 2017
Trump won Florida by only 113,000 votes. Now, there’s a net gain of 55,585 Republican voters in Florida.
Despite the biased media polls, Republicans are winning in voter registrations. That’s a key indication of what will happen at the ballot box in 2018.
Will there be another Republican landslide in 2018?
