Is that 2 registered Democrats for every 1 registered Republican? Or do the numbers only reflect the ratio of those who voted on the Democratic side to those who voted on the Republican side?
There were many I am sure who voted on the Democratic side who were otherwise members of the Republican party or who generally vote Republican.
Would be interesting to know if that could be determined.

The numbers reflect only the number of voters in each primary, so it's hard to answer that question.
But the Republican Party does not look kindly on cross-overs: Before the election it sent out an e-mail noting that only Republicans who vote in their own primary can take part in GOP precinct conventions on March 4 or in the national convention later this year.
