I have heard it said that the conversative/religious-right supporters vote in a much higher percentages, but I don't know the figures.
I believe it--in some parts of the country, church is literally the center of a town's social life, after all.
Actually, the way I got registered to vote back in 2004? Focus on the Family sent me (and I imagine everyone who'd ever had a subscription to any of their publications--I used to get Clubhouse and Brio thanks to my grandma) a voter's registration card along with a letter that basically said, "Dear citizen as America, it's important to vote as a Christian this year. It's not about Democrat or Republican--there are lots of issues to worry about this year, like people dying in Iraq, worries about national security, the economy going downhill, and most importantly, the future of the American family."

What a subtle appeal to homophobia. :P
