As he had in other
caucus states and among other largely
white,
rural electorates in the
farm belt, Sanders won a large victory over Hillary Clinton in North Dakota. Sanders won in the cities of
Fargo,
Bismarck, and
Grand Forks where he had campaigned heavily, and he also swept most other rural,
conservative counties in the state. The caucus did not require participants to register before voting due to the state's small population. Analyst for the
New York Times Nate Cohn summarized the results: "A Sanders win in North Dakota isn’t much of a surprise. It’s a caucus state and it’s a small state, worth just 18 delegates. He’s won every caucus since
Nevada." ==References==
