Immediately after the polls closed at 7:00pm central time, the Associated Press declared that Joe Biden had won the Mississippi primary. Exit polls showed Biden garnering 87% of the black vote, which made up 69% of the Democratic electorate in Mississippi. Biden won every county in the state, and was the only Democratic Party candidate to get above 15% of the vote statewide, the threshold for getting statewide delegates, although Sanders came very close to getting 15% of statewide vote.[1]

Procedure

Mississippi is one of 6 states (and Democrats abroad) which held primaries on March 10, 2020, one week after Super Tuesday.[2]

Voting took place throughout the state from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. In the open primary, candidates must meet a threshold of 15 percent at the congressional district or statewide level in order to be considered viable. The 36 pledged delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention will be allocated proportionally on the basis of the results of the primary. Of the 36 pledged delegates, between 4 and 9 are allocated to each of the state's 4 congressional districts and another 5 are allocated to party leaders and elected officials (PLEO delegates), in addition to 8 at-large pledged delegates. Bonus delegates will be allocated as Mississippi shares a primary date with numerous other states holding contests the week after Super Tuesday; these numbers do not yet account for these delegates.[3]

After county conventions expected on Saturday, March 14, 2020, where congressional district and state convention delegates will be elected, congressional district conventions are slated for successive Saturdays between April 4 and April 25, 2020, in each of the state's congressional districts in ascending order at which congressional delegates to the national conventions will be selected. The state convention is then expected to be held on Saturday, May 16, 2020, to vote on the 8 pledged at-large and 5 PLEO delegates to send to the Democratic National Convention. The 36 pledged delegates Mississippi sends to the national convention will be joined by 5 unpledged PLEO delegates (4 members of the Democratic National Committee and U.S. Representative Bennie Thompson).[3]
