Democrats Abroad Primary Results - Very Interesting To See Sanders/Clinton Percentages

Here's the link to the results which I find very interesting. In Europe, Asia, etc Sanders wins every single city. These countries all have the healthcare, family leave, and other policies that Sanders is promoting and the Americans living in these cities can see how the citizenship benefits from it.

Global Presidential Primary Continues Around the World - Democrats Abroad

Over 10,000 Americans have cast their ballots | Voting at local sites, and remote voting, continues until March 8

Over 10,000 Americans have already voted in Democrats Abroad’s Global Presidential Primary, with many more ballots to be cast between now and March 8.

Unlike voters in the United States, Americans living abroad have the opportunity to vote in the Democrats Abroad primary until March 8th at local polling stations, or by emailing, posting or faxing their ballot.

The final results of the Global Presidential Primary, including delegate allocations, will not be announced until all ballots are counted on March 21.

.....

U.S. Democrats in 111 cities, in 39 countries, will take part in the Global Presidential Primary before it runs its course. A full list of voting sites and times can be found at democratsabroad.org/gpp.

For more details about the Global Primary, including our delegate allocation, local media contacts and a list of our ‘super delegates’ and their candidate commitments, visit democratsabroad.org/press.

You probably can't read the story at the link unless you're a Democrat and you're abroad.
