DEM15

Democrats casted their votes on March 15th in five different states. These include Florida, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio, which is the biggest voting day since “Super Tuesday.”

Hillary Clinton won big over Bernie Sanders a couple weeks ago on Super Tuesday. Clinton won seven of the eleven states and Sanders won four.

Sanders has done well with the votes of the younger generation; whereas, Clinton has done well with African-Americans. Bernie focused a lot of his campaign around students and Clinton is known for her work with President Obama.

GOP15

Republicans casted their votes on March 15th in Florida, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina, the Northern Mariana Islands and Ohio.

Donald Trump won big over his two main competitors, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio when Republicans casted their votes on “Super Tuesday.”

Trump won seven out of the eleven states, doing well with conservatives because of his take on immigration. Cruz won three and Rubio only won one of the eleven states. Cruz and Rubio have been targeting Trump throughout the entire race.

VOTERS15

Democrats and Republicans in Winston-Salem casted their votes on Tuesday, March 15th for the North Carolina Democratic and Republican primaries.

There is a new voter ID law that requires all voters to show their government ID before they can cast their vote. This was the first vote that North Carolina has participated in where the law has been enforced.

This new voter law did not fare well with the NAACP. They claim that making a law where voters have to show their government ID is a form of discrimination. They went on to file a lawsuit against the state for targeting African Americans and limiting their chance to vote.
