Michigan Primary Election Results
It may not be Super Tuesday but March 10 is an important Tuesday in the country as Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden battle in Michigan for the state's 125 delegates.
Michigan boosted Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential bid, but four years later, the same state could either revive his campaign or relegate him to the role of protest candidate.

WHAT'S AT STAKE
Michigan and five other states hold presidential contests on Tuesday at a critical point in the Democratic race.
There are 125 delegates at stake in Michigan, making it the most important state of the week. To track who's leading, head to our Democratic Primary Results page.
Biden is looking to cement his front-runner status after winning the most delegates during Super Tuesday last week. Sanders is in an urgent fight to turn things around as the primary calendar quickly shifts to other states in the coming weeks that could favor Biden and narrow his path to the nomination.
The polls close at 8 PM ET, however, because there are four counties in the Upper Peninsula who are on central time, results won't be reported until 9 PM.
