South Carolina voters showed up to the Republican primary Saturday night in record numbers, according to the state's election commission.
Election officials said the number of Republicans who submitted absentee ballots more than doubled the number received during the presidential primary in 2008, and overall it was reported that more than 730,000 voters participated in the first-in-the-South primary this election cycle.
South Carolina GOP Chairman Matt Moore praised the record-breaking turnout on Twitter Saturday evening. According to Moore, 603,000 South Carolina residents voted in the 2012 Republican primary.

Meanwhile, voter turnout in Saturday's Democratic caucuses in Nevada declined nearly 33 percent in comparison to what it was in 2008. As previously reported, only about 80,000 Silver Staters showed up to participate in the caucuses, which former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won by approximately 4 percentage points. According to the Nevada Democratic Party, voter turnout in 2008, when Clinton beat then-Sen. Barack Obama, was around 118,000.
Some might not like to hear it but it's the Trump effect. Wether you like him or not he has proven so far to be attracting many that have not been involved before. Question becomes do they stay in the game if he is not the nominee?

No argument here. But keep in mind that a lot of the increased GOP turnout is coming from people who are turning out to vote against Trump and for the remaining alternatives.

Nope.
It's coming from former Democrats who are now voting for the GOP.

Might be but as shown by the results, Trump keeps winning. We won't know the answer until the real elections if Trump is not the nominee.
There is a large number of Americans that just don't want another politician so they will vote Trump or Sanders.

Its not all Trump, its also the fact that the left has moved so far out there, that dems who remembered fighting the cold war etc, could never vote Democratic.
