2016 Democratic Presidential Primary Results by County

2016 Democratic Presidential Primary Results by County

Map from created by Wikimedia

The map above shows a county by country breakdown of the Democratic Presidential primaries. Counties won by Hilary Clinton are shown in gold and those won by Bernie Sanders are shown in green (ties are in dark grey).

Candidates needed 2,383 delegates to win the nomination.

Overall, here’s how the totals broke-down:

  • Hillary Clinton: 2,842 delegates (2,271 pledged + 571 superdelegates); 55.2% of popular vote
  • Bernie Sanders: 1,865 delegates (1,820 pledged + 45 superdelegates); 43.1% of popular vote

Therefore, while Clinton did not win the nomination with pledged delegates alone, she did receive more votes and a greater share of pledged delegates compared to Sanders.

You can learn about the campaign from the following books:

  • What Happened
  • Our Revolution: A Future to Believe In
  • Where We Go from Here: Two Years in the Resistance

Please note this map has been updated from the one that appeared on April 9th, 2016 when the content was still ongoing.

    Will you be updating it with each primary? With today, all of Alaska and all of Washington should be green for Bernie.

          aypiscioneri speaks the truth. People don’t vote for Bernie because they are stupid. No hate, just facts.

    Food for thought: Why does it appear that Hillary dominates the urban areas, (not including the South…as most of them never heard of Bernie by the time of their primaries). Typically, the farther left/progressive….the better a candidate does in the city. New York city….Bernie has the largest rally in American history…and then gets trounced in his home town. Something isn’t right.

      Closed primaries prevent registered Independants from voting. Bernie has a huge following of people who register as Independants. When they are excluded due to closed primaries he doesn’t do as well. I believe New York was a closed primary state.

      Primaries are not a good example of how the American electorate is thinking because the Independants are excluded from many closed primary states.

      She was a NY Senator for a while. In the senate elections she won as any typical Democrat would. In other words, she did well in NYC, but lost upstate. Hence Bernie Sanders’ success up north and Clinton’s success around NYC and Long Island.
