Democrats in American Samoa were among those in more than a dozen other states and territories who headed to the polls on Super Tuesday to weigh in on their preferred pick for the Democratic presidential nomination in the 2024 general election.
Advocates in other states are also pushing for voters to denote “uncommitted” as their selection on the ballot Tuesday.
