Voters without a party now outnumber Republicans on Blakeman’s Nassau County home turf

There are now more registered voters without a party than there are Republicans in Nassau County, the home turf of failed gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman, according to newly released data. Non-affiliated voters now outnumber Republicans 314,000-307,000, according to active enrollment data that was released in early November just before GOP pick Blakeman was shellacked in his bid to unseat Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat who carried Nassau. The numbers reflect longstanding statewide numbers, as voters without a party have already outnumbered registered Republicans for several years. Non-affiliated voters don’t include members of minor political parties including the Conservative and Working Families parties. Voters cast their ballots during the midterm elections at P.S. 152 in the Inwood section of Manhattan, New York, on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026. Luiz C. Ribeiro for NY Post California just voted to give two billionaires $4 billion in taxpayer money so they can do obscure research Nassau’s neighbor on Long Island, Suffolk County, is home to about 345,000 independents and 341,000 Republicans, according to the data. Since last November, the ranks of active unaffiliated voters have swelled by nearly 40,000 across Long Island, while active GOP enrollment dropped by about 4,700, according to enrollment figures.
