Washington, Hawaii, and Alaska caucuses 2016: poll closing times and results

Though Republicans had Saturday off, election-wise, Democrats in three states — Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii — headed to the polls. And Bernie Sanders did fantastically, not only winning all three caucuses but winning them in landslides. The delegates haven't all been allotted yet, but it appears likely he'll net around 70 more delegates than Clinton in Saturday's contests. Yet this would still mean he's 230 or so pledged delegates behind Clinton — better off than he was Saturday morning, but worse off than he was on March 10.

As for what's next, Republicans are on a bit of a break — the only state holding a primary or caucus in the next three weeks will be Wisconsin, on Tuesday, April 5. Democrats will also vote in Wisconsin that day, and will hold caucuses in Wyoming later that week, on Saturday, April 9.

Washington Democratic caucuses

Delegates at stake: 101 pledged delegates

Outcome: Sanders won a huge victory, pulling 73 percent of the vote to Clinton's 27 percent. And Washington is a sizable state, so he'll make up some important ground on Clinton in the pledged delegate count here.

Alaska Democratic caucuses

Delegates at stake: 16 pledged delegates

Outcome: Again, Sanders won big — by a margin of 82 percent to 18 percent.

Hawaii Democratic caucuses

Delegates at stake: 25 pledged delegates

Outcome: Sanders won in a 70-30 landslide in Hawaii too.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
