That was fast. Our partners at ABC News and other news organizations are projecting the Democratic side of the Arizona primary as well. It’s gone to Clinton, who’s currently leading Sanders by 23 percentage points. That would translate to a net gain of about 17 delegates over Sanders.

Nate, I’m not really sure how an early voting system with receipts would work. What I want is excuse absentee voting (if you’re going to be out of the country, for example), same-day registration and a lot more voting places. I don’t think we should be having these long lines, but I truly do feel that election day should be election day. You run a campaign, and the campaign should be the same length of time for every voter.

Our colleagues at ABC News have also called Arizona for Trump. As Harry said, the result isn’t surprising, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a big deal. Trump gets 58 winner-take-all delegates and will probably finish among his highest percentages of the vote in any state so far, while Cruz misses out on another opportunity to build confidence around his chances.
