HRC Sweeps US Virgin Islands takes all 7 delegates

Source: Associated Press

WASHINGTON - Hillary Clinton scored a sweeping win in the U.S. Virgin Islands on Saturday, picking up all seven pledged delegates at stake as she inched tantalizingly close to the Democratic nomination.

She is now just 60 delegates short of the 2,383 needed to advance to the November general election.


"We are the only state or U.S. territory where she got 100 percent of the delegates," he said, citing in part the large voter turnout. "It was great, and we are ready for the national convention."

PLEO and "At-Large" pledged delegates compute their viability at the state level.
