The 2020 Democratic Primary marches on with six more states casting their votes on Tuesday: Idaho, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota and Washington.
Between those six states, there are 352 delegates up for grabs, or 8.8% of the 3,979 total. North Dakota has the fewest of the group at 14, which is also tied with Wyoming for the fewest in the country.
Like Democratic primaries in other states, there's a 15% vote threshold for a candidate to receive delegates in North Dakota's open caucus. So, for example, if Joe Biden is the only candidate to get 15% or more of the votes, he will get all of the state's delegates. If two candidates both receive above 15%, the delegates are divided according to vote share.
Coming off a bevy of Super Tuesday wins, former vice president Biden leads the field in overall delegates (664) as well as the popular vote.
