The demographics voting today
These four states are home to nearly 13% of all Americans, roughly 40 million people, and represent distinctly different parts of the country's demographic mix.
Latinos will be a key voting group, a potential advantage to Bernie Sanders, who has excelled at attracting their voting base compared to Joe Biden. All three states have a Latino population greater than 16 percent. Arizona has the highest of the three, with the fourth largest Latino population in the U.S.
