Everything to Know <br />About Super Tuesday Considered the most important <br />day for the Democratic candidate hopefuls, <br />Super Tuesday takes place on March 3. Primaries will be held in <br />more than a dozen U.S. states <br />for Democrats abroad and in Samoa. More than 1,300 delegates <br />are up for grabs on Super Tuesday. The two states with the <br />most delegates are <br />California and Texas. Once Super Tuesday is over, <br />nearly 40 percent of all Democratic delegates <br />will have been allocated to the candidates. If one candidate secures a <br />major lead of delegates, it'll be tough <br />mathematically for the other candidates to pull ahead. Super Tuesday has been<br />"a thing" as far back as 1976. However, the first official <br />Super Tuesday is widely recognized as taking <br />place in 1984, when nine states participated. Voting on Tuesdays dates <br />back to the 1800s, when the day <br />made the most sense for a more <br />religious and agrarian U.S. society. Heading into this Super Tuesday, <br />Bernie Sanders leads with 56 delegates. Former Vice President <br />Joe Biden has 48. Senators Elizabeth Warren and <br />Amy Klobuchar have eight and seven, respectively.
