Biden beats Sanders to win Alaska Democratic primary
Biden beat Sanders Saturday 55.3% to 44.7%. A total of 19,759 votes were cast.
Biden won nine delegates, and Sanders won eight.
Casey Steinau, chairwoman of the state party, said Sanders, along with U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who also have suspended their campaigns, asked to be included in the tallies.
Sanders suspended his campaign this week but said he would keep his name on the ballot in states that haven’t yet voted. He aims to collect delegates as part of an effort to influence the party’s platform at this year’s Democratic National Convention.
Sanders won the state party's caucuses in 2016, over Hillary Clinton.
The Alaska primary originally was scheduled for April 4, but concerns with COVID-19 upended plans. In response, the party, which had planned to offer voting by mail and at in-person locations, went exclusively to a vote-by-mail system.
Go Joe!!!!!

IIRC he won one state that held elections. All his other wins were caucuses. In WA, he won the caucuses and got more delegates, but Hillary won the actual primary election that happened later. This year they scrapped the caucuses altogether.
