Breaking: Bernie Sanders Wins Oregon Democratic Primary

Senator From Vermont Wins the Beaver State

Bernie Sanders is the winner of the Oregon Democratic primary. The Senator from Vermont was expected to win, despite two polls this year showing Hillary Clinton beating him, one by double digits. Clinton won Kentucky earlier this evening by an extremely narrow margin, less than 2000 votes.

Unlike most states, Oregon, which has just over 4 million residents, votes by mail or dropbox.

Sanders addressed supporters a few minutes ago:
