Note: We will provide live results as they happen at the bottom of this post.
Primary season is trucking along merrily with the last round of elections providing a huge scare for those who can’t stomach the thought of Donald Trump in the Oval Office. The campaign trail said goodbye to Marco Rubio while John Kasich lived to campaign another day. Hell, he could stick around for the long haul (probably not though).
This Tuesday, Arizona and Utah will cast their votes for both parties while Idaho Democrats make a choice. For Republicans, Trump could very well widen his lead, but Ted Cruz is never down and out. Watch out for the Zodiac Killer and lead singer of Stryper, and we’ll see if John Kasich can manage to win a state other than Ohio. Meanwhile, the Democrats may see another sweep from Hillary Clinton, but Bernie Sanders won’t be giving up anytime soon. Essentially, this has turned into a four-person race after so many contended a few months ago.
Stay tuned for this long evening. Results will roll in as soon as 10 p.m. EST, but the rest of the results may trickle for hours.
