The Democratic primary race moves to the Pacific Island of Guam on Saturday, where results from the caucus will stream live from the United States territory as Bernie Sanders is favored to prevail with Guam voters over frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
Though Guam, like Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories that are not part of the 50 states, is not permitted to vote for president in the November general election, residents of the island are allowed to take part in selecting party nominees.
With a population of about 160,000, which includes an estimated 45,000 registered voters, Guam — located in the Pacific almost 6,000 miles from the west coast of the continental United States — will send 12 delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia starting July 25. Seven of those delegates will go to the winner of the Democratic caucus on Saturday. For the full article click here
