Biden says he's 'alive' after win in Michigan, Missouri and Mississippi
There are 352 delegates up for grabs across the six states.
Primary voters in the key battleground state of Michigan as well as Missouri, Mississippi, Idaho, North Dakota and Washington state headed to the polls in a closely watched contest that could help determine the next phase of the Democratic race for the presidential nomination.
There are 352 delegates up for grabs across the six states.
Here's how the night unfolded.
6: 33 a.am. In Washington State, the counting continues
With 69% of the expected vote reporting in Washington, it's a tie between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders 33%-33%. Washington is a completely vote-by-mail system, and Elizabeth Warren and Mike Bloomberg are currently scooping up a significant amount of the vote: Warren has 12% and Bloomberg has 11%.
Once a ballot is submitted, voters cannot change or "spoil" their ballots and vote for someone else, like voters in Michigan could have if the candidate they voted for dropped out.
However, there's a good chance two candidates who ended their bids, former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren's percent share of the vote will decrease as the state processes more ballots received on Election Day, and received in the mail today.
The secretary of state's office told ABC News Tuesday night, "We typically see about half of the ballots we will receive for the whole primary on the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of election week, with about the same number of ballots received Wednesday that we’ll receive today."
Popular vote so far as of Tuesday night
Biden: 1,838,614 (50%)
Sanders: 1,229,836 (34%)
Gabbard: 24,770 (1%)
