SEATTLE – More than 250,000 Washington Democrats attended Saturday’s presidential caucuses, shattering the 2004 turnout record of 100,000. Senator Barack Obama won the equivalent of 52 of the 78 pledged delegates available in Washington State, while Senator Hillary Clinton received the remaining 26.
Washington state will send a total of 97 delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Denver this summer. 19 of those delegates are unpledged, and 78 are pledged. Of the 78 pledged delegates, 51 are allocated by the Congressional District Results, and the remaining are allocated based on the statewide results.
***Aggregate numbers by Congressional District appear in the table below. A spreadsheet detailing the number of delegates elected in each CD is attached.
“Washington Democrats made their voices heard in record numbers, taking advantage of this historic opportunity to help determine the next president of the United States,” said Dwight Pelz, Chair of the Washington State Democrats. “This massive Democratic turnout suggests Washingtonians are energized and ready for change in the other Washington, and will be organized and ready to support our nominee and prevent 4 more years of George W. Bush’s disastrous agenda via John McCain.”
