73? 96% ?!?! Demi turnout has been less than 12% on average in most states. Ain't bettyellen Apr 2016 #70

Compared to the last primary. northernsouthern Apr 2016 #72

I guess caucuses did much better than the voting, because voting was off. bettyellen Apr 2016 #95

It was not just Caucus states, the largest one was a Primary, and several primaries did really high. northernsouthern Apr 2016 #97

the open primaries get more voters too. no many more of those, though. bettyellen Apr 2016 #98
