What Went Down In Michigan, Washington And Other Democratic Primaries

A question to watch in Mississippi is whether Sanders clears the 15 percent threshold to receive statewide delegates. Pre-election polls and the exit poll seem to suggest that he probably will, although it’s close enough to keep an eye on.

In Missouri, 68 national convention delegates are at stake based on the results of today’s primary (44 based on the results in the state’s eight congressional districts and 24 based on the statewide vote). At the time of polls closing, ABC News awarded 13 to Biden and five to Sanders; all of those are statewide delegates. ABC has also awarded eight of Mississippi’s 13 statewide delegates to Biden. Mississippi also has 23 delegates that will be allocated based on the results in the state’s four congressional districts. Candidates must get at least 15 percent of the vote to be eligible for delegates.

Once again, black voters are coming up big for Biden. According to preliminary exit polls, he is winning 84 percent of them, while Sanders is winning just 13 percent. But Biden is also crushing Sanders among white voters in the Magnolia State, 66 percent to 32 percent.
