Obviously the older vote turnout was a big deal. Not enough of the young people showed up. Had they, I think it would have been much closer. An interesting discussion no matter what your take is.

And Sanders won the rural areas, which I would expect to be more older, and got killed in Las Vegas which is where I'd expect a bit younger demographic.
I did hear about people who couldn't wait in line any longer and left...perhaps that's where the youth vote disappeared?

That was a statewide problem apparently. Don't forget a lot of people had to go to (or go back to) work.
