COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Newly released numbers show that about 8 percent of the Democrats who voted in Ohio's March 4 presidential primary previously voted Republican.

Secretary of State records obtained by The Associated Press on Monday from most of Ohio's counties show that four out of five voters who switched parties in the election went from Republican to Democrat.

Republican John McCain's presumed presidential nomination was nearly secure when Ohio had its election. About 173,000 Republicans asked for a ballot in the highly competitive Democratic race between Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.

Overall, the number of Democratic votes was more than double the number of Republican votes.
