I love that this took place in a bar!

First Super Tuesday results:
Sanders 21 – Clinton 6

Americans in New Zealand might be the first one to change the game for the US primary elections, something that could turning point in the democratic race.

The result are astounding with Bernie Sanders beating Hillary Clinton by 3 to 1.

New Zealand was the first of 39 countries where Democrats Abroad. Other will host in-person voting between March 1-8; voting sites will be open in 22 countries on Super Tuesday alone, and in 104 cities throughout the week.

Kat Allikian, Chair of Democrats Abroad New Zealand, said,

“TONIGHT’S OPPORTUNITY FOR U.S. DEMOCRATS LIVING IN NEW ZEALAND TO CAST THE FIRST VOTES ON SUPER TUESDAY WAS A GREAT SUCCESS. OUR TURNOUT WAS SMALL, BUT LIKE OUR FELLOW AMERICANS IN DIXVILLE NOTCH, NEW HAMPSHIRE, WE’VE MADE OUR VOICES HEARD ABOUT THE ISSUES THAT MATTER TO US.”

Voting took place at the Public Bar and Eatery in Wellington at midnight local time, with the announcement made at 12:30 AM Wellington time.
