It appears Idaho voters went to the polls in record numbers on Tuesday.

BOISE -- Voter turnout in Idaho appears to have crushed a previous record set in the 2004 general election.

Unofficial results from all precincts show more than 650,000 voters across the state showed up at the polls to cast ballots in the presidential race on Tuesday.

Less than 600,000 people in Idaho voted for president in the 2004 election.

More than 60 percent of Idaho voters chose Republican candidate John McCain for president on Tuesday, while Democrat Barack Obama went on win the White House.

Idaho Secretary of State Ben Ysursa says he estimates a total of about 660,000 voters showed up at the polls on Tuesday, beating the previous record of about 612,000 voters in 2004.

Ysursa estimates about 80 percent of registered voters in Idaho showed up at the polls on Tuesday. In 2004, 76 percent of registered voters cast ballots.

Election results will be made official during the next two weeks.
