With 100 percent of the expected vote counted, Bernie Sanders (D) has won; 100 percent of precincts are reporting.

Last updated: Mar 30, 2020 at 4:51 p.m. EDT

There are 16 delegates at stake in Vermont’s primary on Super Tuesday, and the state’s longtime senator Bernie Sanders wants to grab them all. He was projected to win the state, according to Edison Research based on exit polls, but he may not hold all his opponents to under 15 percent, the target for earning delegates. He won the 2016 primary with 86.1 percent of the vote.

The state has been a bastion of support for Sanders, who has represented Vermont in Congress for almost 30 years after serving as mayor of Burlington, the state’s largest city. Early voting began Jan. 18th. Polls closed at 7 p.m. Eastern time.

Additional delegates will be allocated as vote totals are finalized.
