We netted more delegates from the Democrats Abroad voting than Hillary Clinton netted

with her narrow victories in Illinois, Massachusetts and Missouri combined.

Pulled from a Bernie Sanders email. The context:

Bernie Sanders for President

This is a big deal. Yesterday afternoon, we received the final results from another Democratic primary contest:

Democrats Abroad Results - March 21, 2016 Sanders: 69% (nine delegates) Clinton: 31% (four delegates)

Here’s why this result is important: we netted more delegates from the Democrats Abroad voting than Hillary Clinton netted with her narrow victories in Illinois, Massachusetts, and Missouri combined.

This is the result we needed. Now we wait to hear from Arizona, Idaho, and Utah later tonight, where we should do well. But we also have to focus on what’s next, and that is the CRITICAL caucus in Washington on Saturday. Your $20 contribution today will ensure we have what we need to win Washington State’s caucus this Saturday. We need a good margin there, and your contribution could make the difference.

We’ve said all along that March 15th would be the high-water mark for Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Now the map shifts in our favor, and we’re going to begin clawing back delegates in state after state until we capture the lead on June 7th. But that will only happen if we continue to stand together.

In solidarity,

Jeff Weaver Campaign Manager Bernie 2016
