BISMARCK – North Dakota Democrats have selected 13 delegates for Bernie Sanders and five delegates for Hillary Clinton to attend the party’s presidential nominating convention next month.
The 18 pledged delegates were chosen during the party’s State Delegate Selection Meeting on Saturday in Bismarck, based proportionately on the results of the June 7 statewide presidential preference caucus in which delegates handed Sanders a 253-101 victory, with 40 delegates uncommitted.
The state Democratic-NPL Party will send a total of 23 delegates to the national convention July 25-28 in Philadelphia.
Five of those are unpledged superdelegates who are free to switch their allegiance at any time before the convention. Of the five, U.S. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp has endorsed Clinton, national committeeman Chad Nodland is supporting Sanders and the other three are uncommitted.
