Results for the
contest, which was held on Tuesday, were slow to roll in because
of the razor-thin margin separating the number of votes received
by Clinton and Sanders. Ultimately, Clinton's win was declared
by just 1,531 votes.
The Sanders campaign had previously weighed the option to
request a recount in the tight race, but in an interview with
the AP, Sanders said he would "prefer to save the taxpayers of
Missouri some money,” as the winner is awarded just two
additional delegates of the otherwise nearly evenly split
spread.
