Popular Vote 3/22/16--HRC: 252,352 BS: 231,758

Once again Hillary added to her popular vote totals thanks to her landslide win in Arizona. Yes, Utah and Idaho went overwhelmingly to Bernie but just remember this:

1) Both Utah and Idaho are caucus states and turnout is not good. The combined turnout in Utah and Arizona was under 90,000 from two states! on the Dem side.

2) On the other hand Arizona is a primary state and turnout on the Democratic side will exceed 400,000 voters--so 4x the voters that Utah and Idaho had combined.

3) Utah and Idaho are overwhelmingly caucasion states. Arizona is a diverse state. Hillary nearly got 60% of the vote but in key counties with big Native American and Latino populations HRC ran significantly ahead of her state totals. All of this despite (once again) Bernie outspending her and out campaigning her with his HUGE rallies.

4) Finally, Arizona is a closed primary state while the caucuses in Idaho and Utah are open. This means that lots of non-Democrats voted for Bernie in the states he won. Next month we are going to have several closed primaries in states with big delegates and this will be to HRC's advantage in mega states like New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, & Connecticut.
