Election question

I know electorial college and such, skipping over that.

Since I am in California which is far from a battleground state, we have had virtually no presidential advertising, visits, etc. We are one of the many "already decided" states, or at least that is how it is displayed in the media and such.
I have been following everything very closely though and one thing has particularly struck me that both candidates seem to be ignoring. New voter registration went absolutely batshit, talking record daily numbers. Seeing that voter registration is way up, logic would dictate that this election may have the largest voter turn out percentage in recent history.
Could this not in theory turn literally any state into a potential swing state? Since most of the map predictions and such are centered around previous voter histories, which also are based on very poor voter turn out.
