Sanders overwhelming winner in
Idaho Democratic caucuses |
|
March 23, 2016 |
With several counties having larger-than-expected
crowds showing up, and long lines waiting to get
in, Idaho Democrats held their caucuses
throughout the state yesterday. Some
counties had to scramble to come up with extra
space at the last minute to accommodate the large
turnout of voters.
As the evening for the caucuses came to an end,
Bernie Sanders emerged as the overwhelming
winner, with a reported 78% of the votes of
Idaho Democrats, compared with 21% for Hillary
Clinton.
Idaho sends 27 delegates to the Democratic
National Convention, to be held this summer in
Philadelphia. Mr. Sanders will be awarded
a large majority of those delegates.
Totals for local Boundary County Democratic
caucuses will be posted when they become
available.
