Democratic Campaign Expands With Super Tuesday Voting

Chris Hannas

   The competition for the Democratic presidential nomination expands
   significantly Tuesday with voters in 14 states casting their ballots in
   support of the candidate they want to oppose President Donald Trump in
   the November national election.

   About one-third of the delegates that will be awarded during the
   state-by-state voting process are up for grabs Tuesday, including the
   biggest pot of candidates at stake in the western state of California.

   After one-off contests in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South
   Carolina, the so-called Super Tuesday event brings a national tone to
   the nomination process, with voters in western, southern, northeastern
   and midwestern states all taking part on the same day, along with those
   in the U.S. territory of American Samoa.
