Just over a quarter of Dartmouth’s registered voters came out on Election Day to weigh in during the presidential primary, down from the last presidential primary turnout of 38 percent in 2016.

In the competitive Democratic race, former Vice President Joe Biden was the big winner with 1,938 votes, beating out Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’ count of 1,374 votes.  

For the runners up, former New York City mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg got the edge on Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren by 50 votes, 689 to 639.

On the Republican ticket, incumbent President Trump steamrolled the competition, picking up 1,017 votes, over 90 percent of the 1,121 Republican votes cast in Dartmouth. Former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld came in second with 75 votes.

Turnout in Dartmouth was much lower than in the last primary, even as the number of registered voters increased from 21,473 in 2016 to 22,865 this year. According to data from the town clerk, 8,174 voters turned out during the last presidential primary held on March 1, 2016. This year’s primary drew in only 6,010 registered voters, representing 26 percent of all registered voters in town.

In 2016, 5,089 voted for the Democratic Party, and 3,051 voted for the Republican Party. 3 voted for the Green-Rainbow party.

This year, 4,845 votes were cast for the Democratic Party and 1,121 voted for the Republican Party. 18 voted for the Libertarian Party, and 7 went for the Green-Rainbow party. 

On Super Tuesday, which took place on March 3 this year, 14 states held primaries alongside the American Samoa caucuses. This amounts to 1,357 delegates — 34 percent of the total number of delegates across the country.

Although results are still being tallied, Biden looks to have won Massachusetts and Minnesota as well as many southern states, while Sanders won in California, Colorado, and Utah, along with his home state of Vermont. The candidates are neck and neck in Maine.

Bloomberg won the American Samoa caucuses, and Trump won every state that held a Republican primary.

The winners of this primary season will be on the ballot during the presidential election on November 3.
