I think it is more likely that Hillary voters moved to the Republican primary than did voters for Bernie. Judging by figures given in Comment #2,372, as many as 16% of Democrats moved to Republican. I had expected her to loose by 15%, and there are more than enough defection there to have made the difference between 15% and 22%.

Great point.

Nice to think about the general instead of the usual Trump Cruz stuff.

The most recent totals I could find now after a preliminary check still only show about 80& of precincts reporting. With those totals, if they are valid, one might expect about 274K Democrat votes and 303K Republican. One would think that should be the headline story of the morning: Record Republican Turnout in New Hampshire Primary

Given the antiTrump bias of much of the media the headlines will not only include Bernie Sanders (who beat both Obama and Clinton totals from 2008), but also Kasich and Bush (they want to prop up an establishment candidate whenever they can).

Did anyone notice that Trump received more votes than Hillary ?

Trump's challenges are to unite the Republican voters at the same time he is bringing in new Republican voters.
