LINKS: Get Guam Democratic Caucus Results Live Stream
The Democratic primary race moves to the Pacific Island of Guam on Saturday, where results from the caucus will stream live from the United States territory as Bernie Sanders is favored to prevail with Guam voters over frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
Though Guam, like Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories that are not part of the 50 states, is not permitted to vote for president in the November general election, residents of the island are allowed to take part in selecting party nominees.
With a population of about 160,000, which includes an estimated 45,000 registered voters, Guam — located in the Pacific almost 6,000 miles from the west coast of the continental United States — will send 12 delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia starting July 25. Seven of those delegates will go to the winner of the Democratic caucus on Saturday.
The other five are “unpledged” delegates, better known as “superdelegates,” who are free to vote for whichever candidate they prefer at the convention. Three of those superdelegates, including the lone Guam representative in the U.S. congress, have already said they will vote for Hillary Clinton.
That representative, Madeleine Bordallo, is the first woman to represent Guam in the U.S. House of Representatives, and as the widow of two-time Guam Governor Ricardo Bordallo, the island’s former first lady.
Located across the international date line in the Pacific, Guam’s local time is 14 hours ahead of the United States East Coast. Polls close there at 8 p.m. Saturday, May 7, which would be 6 a.m. Eastern Standard Standard Time, 3 a.m. Pacific.
But night-owl political junkies and early risers in the 48 contiguous states can listen to a live stream of Guam radio news station KGUM, below.
KUAM TV, the oldest TV station in Guam, founded in 1956, offers a live stream of its daily news broadcast starting at 6 p.m. local time in Guam — 4 a.m. Eastern Time, 1 a.m. Pacific Time.
Another radio link, Isla 63, including a broadcast in the native Chamorro language of Guam, will stream live, below.
Bernie Sanders appears in good position to claim the seven pledged delegates when about 4,500 Guam voters are expected to show up at the lone polling place on the island, Agana Shopping Center in the Guam capital of Hagåtña.
“It looks like this might come down to the wire,” said Kin Perez, who chairs the Democratic Party of Guam. “Sanders’ campaign has put forth some very novel ideas that have made a lot of people excited. Young people in particular. The old guard not so much.”
