Does anyone have list or website handy detailing voter-turnout in primaries by state?

As well as registered voters, as recent as possible.

This will go towards quantifying our goals of a Ron Paul Nomination, as well as understanding the precedents involved and better understanding the amounts and limits of votes we can expect on a state by state basis.

Caucuses as well if possible.

I have tried, but can't find anything succinct, contemporary, or categorized well enough to be useful, besides a few states that are more or less well documented.

In order to have a real national campaign, we will need to know these trends and successfully predict how far-reaching our activites should be, where we should use our resources, etc.

Post it in this thread, this is for everybody to do their own research as well.

Thanks guys. :cool:

I don't have anything to back up what I feel (I know, that sounds very liberal :)).

However, usually only the die-hards come out to vote in primaries. Maybe 20% of a party's registered voters in a "contested race".

If every Ron Paul supporter would just register Republican and vote in their state's primary or attend the caucus, Ron Paul will get AT LEAST 15% of the GOP vote. That means delegates, and in a crowded field, that means staying in it, while the bigger names drop out.

There's hardly any info online about votes in the last primaries that I could find. You can use this thread to get an idea:

The CNN website has votes by state and county, it's votes for Bush v Kerry, so figure only 50% or less of those #'s will actually vote in the primary, probably much lower, but even at 50% the numbers look promising.

Watch for Democrat crossover vote for Bush, there was a lot of it in 2004 because of Kerry.

Probably not the answer you want, but go to each state's Secretary of State's web site.
