12. Again, one needed to be registered a month ago to vote in the AZ primaries.

If you are not a D and wanted to switch your party affiliation to vote in the D primary, you needed to do that a year ago.

The Independent vote that has flocked to Bernie in the open primaries will not be there today because it can't be there today. That spells a blow-out favoring Hillary, who has been in AZ for months with a large and disciplined staff.

Doesn't matter if you have big rallies if many of the people at the rallies can't vote in the closed primary. I'm envisioning many Indy Bernie supporters showing up at the polls today and being turned away because they're not registered Ds.
