Although election workers in Ventura and Los Angeles counties are still counting a few more new registrations tonight, the almost-final voter registration report shows that Democrats have caught and surpassed Republicans in the 19th Senate District.

This is a district in which Republicans held a 25,000-voter advantage in registration just four years ago.

The numbers: 202,648 Democrats, 201,589 Republicans -- a 1,059-voter advantage for Democrats.

Since the most recent, Sept. 5 report there have been about 30,000 new partisan registrations in the district. New Democrats have outnumbered new Republicans by a 2-to-1 ratio.
