*It was close. Real close.
But Hillary Clinton was declared the winner of the (Democrat) Iowa caucuses on Tuesday after final vote counts showed her narrowly beating Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, according to The Associated Press and other news organizations.
The final results announced by the Iowa Democratic Party, show that Clinton was awarded 700.59 state delegate equivalents, the terminology used in Iowa to represent candidates’ share of the total caucus vote. Meanwhile, Senator Sanders was awarded 696.82 delegates, and former Gov. Martin O’Malley – who also dropped out of the race last night – received 7.61 delegates. Iowa Democrats historically do not release raw vote counts from each of the state’s 1,681 caucus precincts.
Based on these results, Mrs. Clinton is set to receive 23 of Iowa’s delegates and Mr. Sanders will earn 21 delegates. There are 4,763 delegates to the Democratic National Convention, so it will require 2,382 delegates to win the nomination.
