ANDROSCOGGIN VALLEY — Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders easily won the Democratic primary in the Androscoggin Valley but the story, as it was throughout the state, was the unexpectedly strong showing by Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
Unofficial totals show Sanders received 787 votes, 203 more than his closest competitor, Mayor Pete Buttigieg with 584 votes.
