This is true -- but gerrymandering and other forms of voter suppression are doing a pretty good job of making majorities look like minorities at the ballot box.
And here in blue Massachusetts, same-day voter registration got dropped from the VOTES Act passed and signed into law last year. Why? It was strenuously opposed by a member of the state house leadership who represents a Boston district with many, many college students. Our state primary is held in early September, and he was afraid of being primaried by newly registered student voters.

The erosion is indeed steady. Texas has now joined other states trying to bar voting on college campuses.
