Thanks...Check the 2004 NH Primary turnout for comparison:

Source: http://www.leinsdorf.com/NewHampshirePrimary2004.htm

The final 2004 New Hampshire primary vote totals are:

John Kerry 87,386 (30.2%)

Howard Dean 59,649 (20.6%)

George Bush 54.019 (18.7%)

Wesley Clark 28,781 (9.9%)

Total votes cast 289,432 (100%)

Turnout

The Republican primary was uncontested. Even so, George Bush managed to receive only 77.9% of the vote. This compares with the 86.4% of the vote Ronald Reagan received in 1984, when Harold Stassen was on the ballot against him; and the 82.1% of the vote that the unopposed Bill Clinton received in 1996. The Democratic candidates for president received 11.9% of the Republican vote on write-ins.

There were just under 692,702 registered voters in New Hampshire for the Presidential Primary. New Hampshire neither purges inactive voters from its lists, nor identifies them. Using the same percentage of inactive voters from the Iowa lists, means that there were an estimated 634,515 eligible voters for the New Hampshire primary. The turnout was about 45.6% overall. About 29.8% of the Republicans voted, 79.0% of the Democrats voted, and 41.6% of the independents cast ballots. Of the voters who had no party preference and declared themselves for one of the parties on election day, 7,692 voted in the Republican Primary and 95,510 voted in the Democratic Primary.
