Carter sweeps Delaware caucus in Democratic primaries
President Carter won about 6 percent of Delaware delegates and all Sussex County delegates in the first Democratic caucus. Kennedy took 40 delegates, all from Wilmington and New Castle County. More than 1,000 of Delaware’s 206,000 registered Democrats voted at four sites. County results varied with Carter leading in New Castle and Sussex, while Kent split for Carter and uncommitted delegates. Kennedy supporters argued uncommitted delegates could favor Teddy Kennedy at Dover on May 24. Some delegates said their stance expressed displeasure with Carter and warned of a possible Republican vote if the trend continued. A separate brief notes YMCA event in Bethesda for a fundraiser.
