SEATTLE, WA — Joe Biden has pulled ahead of Bernie Sanders after the second round of ballots were tabulated Wednesday. Washington was one of two states out of the six who voted Tuesday where Sanders held a lead over Biden on election night. Sanders was declared the winner of the primary in North Dakota Wednesday morning.

Biden now leads Sanders by nearly a full point in King County, flipping the early results in the state's most populous county, where Sanders led Biden by a similar margin Tuesday night.

Washington was the second-biggest prize of the night, with 89 pledged delegates at-stake.

According to the Secretary of State's Office, statewide voter turnout neared 38 percent after the latest count, with more than 315,000 ballots left to process.



The third ballot drop is scheduled for release before 4 p.m. Thursday.
