Roughly 1.5 million Democrats had voted by Wednesday morning, a dramatic increase from the one million who voted in the previous primary. Whereas Democrats made up less than 30% of the overall vote in 2014, they made up an estimated 40% on Tuesday.
Early voting numbers showed blue voters outnumbering their red counterparts in the days leading up to the election, but ultimately Republicans were still the majority.
