"The best news for Democrats in the 
Super Tuesday results may not be the surge of Joe Biden, or Bernie Sanders hanging on, or even 
Mike Bloomberg dropping out (although I am personally extra thrilled about that). No, the best news is the record and near record turnout of Democratic voters all across the country. Whoever the eventual nominee is, it’s clear that Democrats are fired up and ready to vote to defeat Donald Trump.
In 
Virginia, Democratic primary turnout was the highest on record, surpassing the previous record set in 2008. In fact, 23% of registered Virginians cast ballots on Super Tuesday, which almost doubled primary turnout from 2016.
Utah saw a turnout in Tuesday’s Democratic primary that eclipsed previous turnout for any primary held in the state, among Democrats or Republicans.  
In North Carolina, voter turnout was also up over 2016 numbers. And 
early voting had a strong surge — with almost twice as many Democrats in the state casting early ballots compared with Republicans. "
