The Caucus is open to registered Democrats and Independents. The delegate allocation is proportional, the candidates are awarded delegates in proportion to the percentage of votes received. A total of 76 (of 95) delegates are awarded proportionally. A 15 percent threshold is required to receive delegates. No actual convention delegates are awarded at the caucuses, rather each precinct caucus chooses delegates to attend the County Convention. Analysis This election caucus was immediately following Super Tuesday, where John Kerry dominated and continued his momentum. Kerry won the blue state of Washington with 48% of the vote, winning every county and congressional district except for the 7th district, which Dean carried with just under 40%. Turnout was overall very low in the state. The highest turnout by far was when over 9,500 people showed to vote in King County, Washington, where Kerry won with 44%. Kerry's weakest performance in the state was in Jefferson County, Washington, where he got just 39% of the vote, and Howard Dean got 31% of the vote Statewide Results Primary date: February 7, 2004 2004 Washington Democratic presidential primary Candidate Votes Percentage Delegates John Kerry11,39748.41%46 Howard Dean 7,060 29.99% 24 Dennis Kucinich 1,927 8.19% 6 John Edwards 1,571 6.67% 0 Uncommitted 799 3.39% 0 Wesley Clark 768 3.26% 0 Al Sharpton 19 0.08% 0 Total 23,541 100.00% 76 Sources Dave Leip's U.S. Election Atlas Washington 2004 Category:2004 Washington (state) elections
