  On a day that will be remembered for much more than the US presidential primaries, voters in three states are heading out to the polls.
Republicans are voting in Arizona and Utah, where a total of 98 delegates are up for grabs. Democrats are hitting the polls in those states and Idaho, and 131 delegates will be decided.
In the Democratic contest, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are fighting for 75 delegates in Arizona on Tuesday and hoping that Latino voters will propel them to victory. Twenty-two per cent of voters in Arizona are Latino and both candidates spent the past few weeks campaigning across the state. Senator Sanders has spent time campaigning at the US-Mexico border where he condemned Donald Trump and Sheriff Joe Arpaio.In the Democratic contest, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are fighting for 75 delegates in Arizona on Tuesday and hoping that Latino voters will propel them to victory.

Clinton also condemned Sheriff Arpaio, who was criticised for his treatments of inmates, at a Phoenix-area high school this week: “We are a nation of immigrants and of exiles. When I see people like Sheriff (Joe) Arpaio and others who are treating fellow human beings with such disrespect, with such contempt, it just makes my heart sink,” Ms Clinton said, according to KPNX-TV.Clinton also condemned Sheriff Arpaio, who was criticised for his treatments of inmates, at a Phoenix-area high school this week: “We are a nation of immigrants and of exiles.
