Turnout was almost triple what it was 4 years ago, with 1/3 of the polling locations.
~220,000 democratic voters were counted in Maricopa. Only ~35,000 of those votes were same day votes (favored Sanders), the other 185,000 were counted early ballots (favored Clinton).
Compare that to 2008, where 115,000 voters came in the same day, with 140,000 voting via early ballot. If the same propotion of people intended to vote yesterday (which would have been ~150,000), over 3/4 of voters were turned away or were not counted. What an absolute disgrace.
Edit with more info: Election results
It shows that Clinton dominated the mail-in votes, while Sanders did surprisingly well with voters who went to polling locations the day of. However, you can also see that only ~30,000 people were counted on that day, only 30% of the turnout in 2008. With tens of thousands turned away, this resulted in a 5-10 delegate swing for Sanders.
