(CNN) — Bernie Sanders has won the Democrats Abroad presidential primary, defeating former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton 69% to 31%, the organization announced Monday.

Sanders received 23,779 votes from American Democrats living in more than 170 countries. Clinton received 10,689 votes. He picked up an additional nine delegates, compared to four for Clinton.

The contest marks the Vermont senator's 10th win so far this campaign season and his first victory since winning the Michigan primary on March 8. Clinton, who swept the primaries in Florida, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina, and Ohio last week, has won 19 contests overall.

The nearly 35,000 votes cast in the global primary exceeds the 23,000 votes cast in the 2008 primary, when Barack Obama defeated Clinton 66% to 33%.

1. Yes, and as noted by Democrats Abroad Jarqui,

'When Americans got fair and balanced news coverage of the two Democratic candidates from the internet or international media, they became heavy supporters of Bernie.'

12. So many Americans are health care exiles living abroad because of our horrible health care

So, basically, unless Sanders wins and we pull out of the treaties they will be stuck because they cannot afford modern good quality health care any more, just crap care here.

Also, many many Europeans would love to come here to do various tech jobs here but wont come because the health care, even the so called Cadillac plans are just not what they are used to and if they have a sick family member, they feel they are taking their lives in their hands if they come here.

4. He got 9 and She got 4 delegates. Pretty evenly divided. But he did win. A win is a win

7. Evenly divided?

nine is more than twice the number that 4 is, and you call it pretty evenly divided?

I always knew that MATH was an acronym over there for Mythological Assumption That Hillarycanwin.

10. almost half in my book.

[libdem4life]

15. 9 + 4 = 13 4 is 30% of 13 ... which leaves Bernie at 70%

[elleng]

14. REALLY!

[revbones]

5. Well, they do have a lot of princes in Nigeria... nt

[imagine2015]

6. 4 of 5 voted to Hillary. Whoopy! Have to call that a crushng lose for Sanders!

It could be spun that way.

[revbones]

8. Nigerian princes took time from scam emails to vote for Hillary? nt

I was just trying to make a joke about the email scams from Nigeria.

[RoccoR5955]

9. That's because

MATH means Mythological Assumption That Hillarycanwin, in Clintonland.

11. People abroad experience the kinds of healthcare, family leave and other Sanders proposal first-hand

and realize that Americans can and should have those same things. I'm not surprised by the votes.

[Baobab]

13. Exactly, thats what Ive been told.

they think we are either barbarians or abused people, like poor abused children who don't even realize we are being abused.

I refuse to vote for any more abusers.

16. No MSM complicity. That's it. n/t
