What Went Down In The April 26 Primary Elections

Sanders has broken through. The Associated Press has declared him the winner in Rhode Island.

In Baltimore, there’s a Democratic primary today in a mayoral race of particular significance. It’s the first since Freddie Gray, a local resident, died from spinal injuries suffered in police custody, and since the ensuing unrest that roiled Baltimore. (Since Democrats outnumber Republicans 10 to 1 in the city, the primary produces the de facto winner of the race, barring the most unlikely of scenarios.) Some polling places in the city stayed open an hour later than scheduled because of administrative delays in opening, a move spurred when U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Donna Edwards’ campaign filed a court order. With voters still waiting in line, some people on Twitter asked why news outlets called the Maryland race for Clinton before all the polls were actually closed. Now the polls have truly closed for all in Maryland, but we still don’t have exit polls or predictions on the mayoral race. However, ABC News exit polls show that 57 percent of Maryland’s Democratic primary voters were Latino or non-white, which probably contributed to Clinton’s win.

As if things could not get better for Trump, he’s above 67 percent in the 2nd district in Rhode Island. That means he would win two delegates there instead of one. Not only that, but Cruz is struggling to get above 10 percent statewide in Rhode Island. If he falls below, more delegates for Trump.
