As he had in othercaucus states and among other largelywhite,rural electorates in thefarm belt, Sanders won a large victory over Hillary Clinton in North Dakota. Sanders won in the cities ofFargo,Bismarck, andGrand 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.[5]
Analyst for theNew York TimesNate 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 sinceNevada."[6]
