As I understand it, WI was open, but required identification. So (a) that suppressed turnout of a demo that goes strongly for HRC, and (b) the so-called "independents" could simply choose a Dem ballot that day. While some I do believe genuinely were, and support sanders because they are concerned about "the economy is rigged", wage stagnation, etc, I think some were Republicans who voted in the Dem primary because they were fine with any of their candidates but wanted to choose the Dem they thought would be weaker in the general.
