RI Democratic Primary Results: Sanders Wins

10:30 p.m.: With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Bernie Sanders has commanded a 54 to 43 percent victory in Rhode Island's presidential preference primary on Tuesday night.

The victory was Sanders' lone win on Tuesday night and does not completely derail Hillary Clinton's trajectory toward the nomination but it did send shockwaves across the Ocean State.

Clinton was widely believed to have a good chance of defeating Sanders' here in blue Rhode Island, securing endorsements from the Governor and the entire Rhode Island federal delegation.

But voters' distaste for incumbents and established party politics prevailed with Sanders beating Clinton by a whopping 10 points, securing 66,720 votes to Clintons' 52,493.

Sanders released the following statement Tuesday night:

“I congratulate Secretary Clinton on her victories tonight, and I look forward to issue-oriented campaigns in the 14 contests to come.

“I am proud that we were able to win a resounding victory tonight in Rhode Island, the one state with an open primary where independents had a say in the outcome. Democrats should recognize that the ticket with the best chance of winning this November must attract support from independents as well as Democrats. I am proud of my campaign’s record in that regard.

“The people in every state in this country should have the right to determine who they want as president and what the agenda of the Democratic Party should be. That’s why we are in this race until the last vote is cast. That is why this campaign is going to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia with as many delegates as possible to fight for a progressive party platform that calls for a $15 an hour minimum wage, an end to our disastrous trade policies, a Medicare-for-all health care system, breaking up Wall Street financial institutions, ending fracking in our country, making public colleges and universities tuition free and passing a carbon tax so we can effectively address the planetary crisis of climate change.”

Updated: 9:04 p.m.

RHODE ISLAND—Bernie Sanders is holding 10 point advantage over Hillary Clinton in Rhode Island's Presidential Preference Primary.

Sanders has a 55 to 42 percent advantage with 48 percent of precincts reporting.

Here are live results:

From earlier: Will Hillary Clinton sail to victory in the Ocean State? Or will Bernie Sanders ride his strong support among progressives in Rhode Island to victory?

It will be harder for Sanders supporters to make a case that the Vermont Senator still has a chance at the presidency if he does not carry Rhode Island this Tuesday in a Presidential Preference Primary that could break turnout records.

Early tallies from various precincts show Sanders with the edge with about 10 percent of precincts reporting, but the race is too early to call and could swing drastically one way or the other into the night

From earlier: On Sunday, a Brown University poll showed Hillary Clinton ahead in Rhode Island. On Monday, a Public Policy Polling survey put Bernie Sanders ahead. On Tuesday, Rhode Islanders will decide, once-and-for-all, who they want to serve as the Democrat's nominee for President.

Most polls in Rhode Island open at 7 a.m., though some open at 9 a.m.

Less than 150 polling locations are open across Rhode Island on Tuesday, which means it's crucial to double-check your polling place. To do it, head over to the Rhode Island Voter Information Center.
