Presumptive nominee and former vice president Joe Biden won with 56%, but lost a rather unusual number of votes and delegates in the penultimate primary to withdrawn candidates, senator Bernie Sanders and former mayor Michael Bloomberg. With both of them winning around 13% and respectively five and two delegates on the district-level, together they received 26% of the vote, and spoiled ballots (blank ballots, as well as undervotes and overvotes) also made up more than 10% of the votes.
