I've seen a lot of mostly GOP-aligned accounts here in recent days/weeks sharing voter registration stats for the past 4 years showing GOP advantages in voter registration. These stats are generally quite misleading, here's why.
The biggest reason: their exclusion of unaffiliated voters in their stats, and a failure to further explore who is registering unaffiliated. The reality is that Gen Z is less likely to register with a party, but still overwhelmingly Dem.
Here's PA new voter registration data, as an example. Notice how each cycle has seen an increase in voters registering unaffiliated. 
So let's dig deeper into those young unaffiliated new registrants. Here's modeled party ID of those voters. Notice how in 2020 they were only slightly more Dem than GOP, yet those registering this year are +27D.
When you factor in the unaffiliated voters, suddenly things don't look so rosy for Republicans. Which is, of course, why the viral posts from GOP accounts are excluding that data.
