Republicans have regained their status as the largest voting bloc in Colorado, a battleground state for the 2008 presidential election.

The Colorado secretary of state says in a report posted online this week that registered Republicans total more than 1,024,500. Unaffiliated voters are second at just under 1,022,400.

Democrats are third at just under 946,200. But in June and July, Democrats registered nearly 13,700 new voters, compared with just under 4,100 new Republican registrations and about 400 new unaffiliated voters.

Republicans had been bumped from the No. 1 spot in June by unaffiliated voters. That was the first time in nearly two decades that unaffiliated voters were the largest voting demographic in the state.
