But How Many Unregistered Voters Are There?

In my article yesterday on the potential effect of Obama's massive voter registration drive, I referred frequently to increments of increased turnout among certain demographic groups in specific states.

From an organizing standpoint, however, the more important data relates to the universe of voters in each state: the number that are eligible to vote and the number of those that are unregistered. So I've put together a spreadsheet that lays out the relevant registration numbers in 20 significant states (using U.S. Census data collected after the 2004 election). You can view it here or download it here.

Also, over at FiveThirtyEight, Poblano posted a Q&A regarding his methodology.  It's worth a read.
