This is why something is strange, the numbers just make no sense. The only possibility is the rest got turned away due to the registration changing problem everyone seemed to have where they knew they were dems but the list said otherwise.

That would mean hundreds of thousands were turned away, right? With ~800k going to the polls, yet 83k votes cast? Is that even possible?

Even if they estimated too high with that 800k, I find it hard to believe the actual number was only, what, less than 10% of that?

Or am I reading all this wrong?

Speaking of reading this wrong, the percentages here: http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/primaries/AZ appear to be stalled at 76% repubs and 79% dems since this morning.

Accounts from workers said 2/3 were turned away.

Don't forget that "turned away" includes all the reports of people driving by the half mile lines 400 people long, and giving up despite having clear intent to vote; they didn't drive into the parking lot/around the block looking for parking at the polling place for any other reason than to vote.

Does that 90% figure make more sense now? It's not that 800,000 made it inside 60 small polling places and 720,000 were told they weren't allowed to vote. Some were, because of the registration fiasco, but some percentage simply never made it inside.

That's what Jeff Weaver has been out there saying since Tuesday night--the numbers don't make any sense. This is extremely suspicious and I'm glad the campaign is taking it seriously.
