Little known to most, Guam held it's caucuses today. Although called a caucus, it's more like a primary.
With all 21 precincts reporting, Obama finished with 2,264 votes (50.1%). Hillary Clinton got 2,257 votes (49.9%).
Meaning they each win 4 of the territory's 8 delegates, though each only holds half a vote.
As a way to reach out to far different people, both pledged various reforms for the territory, such as the ability to vote for president, lifting their cap on Medicaid, and their endorsement of the Bill before Congress that will pay the territory $120 million as reparations from Japan's occupation of Guam during WWII.
The next contests are Tuesday, with Indiana and North Carolina. Indiana is a very tight race, while Obama is expected to win North Carolina due to demographic, which is similar to that of South Carolina and Virgina, both states Obama has won.
