More than 200 million Americans are registered to vote in this year's
presidential election, a record high in US history, TargetSmart, a
Democratic political data firm, said.
National registration now stands at 200,081,377 voters, Tom Bonier, CEO of TargetSmart, told on Wednesday Oct 19,2016
The figure meant more than 50 million new people have registered to vote in the past eight years
Only 146.3 million were registered as recently as 2008, when President Barack Obama first won the White House
The electorate has been growing by leaps in recent years, with Hispanic population growth behind much of the surge.
Two decades ago, in 1996, there were not even 200 million people of voting-age population in the US, let alone registered voters
