From IdahoStatesman.com:
Primary voters across Idaho turned out in their biggest numbers in a decade, a phenomenon Secretary of State Ben Ysursa says may be due to an energized tea party movement.
About 27 percent of registered voters cast ballots Tuesday. Ysursa had been projecting 26 percent turnout.
That amounts to some 202,700 voters, an unofficial figure but probably the most since 2000 when about 210,000 primary voters cast ballots.
By comparison, 182,627 voters turned out in 2008.
