Joe Biden has won the Alaska Democrats' party-run presidential primary, beating Sen. Bernie Sanders days after Sanders suspended his campaign.Casey Steinau, chairwoman of the state party, said Sanders, along with U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who also have suspended their campaigns, asked to be included in the tallies.
Sanders suspended his campaign this week but said he would keep his name on the ballot in states that haven't yet voted. He aims to collect delegates as part of an effort to influence the party's platform at this year's Democratic National Convention.The primary itself was new to Alaska Democrats, who moved from their traditional caucuses to a primary for this year's race in a move Steinau said was aimed at increasing participation. It used rank-choice ballots.
The party said it sent in early March ballots to every person who was registered as a Democrat as of mid-February, more than 71,000. The party also included voter registration forms and downloadable ballots on its website.
