“Why Nearly a Fifth of Arizona GOP Voters Were Disenfranchised By Early Voting – And How To Fix It”

FairVote blog:

What happened was that Arizona has early voting — and many voters took advantage of it. That’s good for making sure you cast your vote, especially given Arizona’s indefensibly long lines on Election Day that resulted in disenfranchisement. But the number of people who failed to vote due to long lines was nothing compared to the95,429 votes — that’s 18% of all Republican primary votes cast — that were tallied for Rubio, Ben Carson, Jeb Bush and seven other candidates who had withdrawn from the race. Making it even worse a higher percentage of such votes were cast by military voters overseas.
