Colorado residents again decided to back Bernie Sanders in Tuesday\u2019s presidential primary, four years after the Vermont senator defeated Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Colorado Democratic caucus.<\/p>\n

Things were no different here in Summit County, where Sanders registered more than 36.8% of the vote, or 2,230 total votes. Joe Biden came in second with 26.7% of the vote, followed by Michael Bloomberg at 18.9% and Elizabeth Warren at 15.5%.<\/p>\n

Summit County Clerk and Recorder Kathleen Neel said there are still a few votes to tally from out-of-state voters and others, but she noted that the county\u2019s turnout was strong in Colorado\u2019s first presidential primary since 2000.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there was a really good turnout,\u201d Neel said. \u201cWe had a significant amount of voters for any kind of primary we\u2019ve had in recent years.\u201d<\/p>\n

In total, about 9,275 Summit County residents voted in the primary, or about 39% of the county\u2019s 23,982 registered voters.<\/p>\n

While Sanders has won the state\u2019s Democratic presidential primary, local voters aren\u2019t done yet. Despite the resurgence of the primary, there still will be a caucus for down-ballot Democratic and Republican candidates March 7 followed by the nonpresidential primary June 30. The general election will be held Nov. 3.<\/p>\n
