Clinton falls to Vermont senator after projected 20- point win By LYDIA MURRAY Daily Staff Reporter Sen. Bernie Sanders (D–Vt.) won Michigan’s Democratic presidential primary with 50.1 percent of the vote Tuesday night after an unexpected surge of vot- ing in the state broke records and pushed him over the edge. Sanders’ rival in the Demo- cratic contest, Hillary Clinton earned 48 percent of the vote. Sanders’ victory comes as a sur- prise, as previous polls suggested a decisive victory for Clinton with a RealClearPolitics polling average showing her leading by a 21.4 point margin. This is the biggest upset since the 1984 New Hampshire primary when Wal- ter Mondale, who was favored to win by 17.1 percent, lost to Gary Hart. Because Michigan’s delegates are allocated proportionally, Sanders is slated to gain 77 of the state’s 130 delegates from his vic- tory, with the other 53 going to Clinton. The senator did particularly well in cities like Ann Arbor where there is a large popula- tion of young, white liberals, and where turnout was unusu- ally huge. At the University of Michigan, students appeared to be leaning toward Sanders based on student interviews outside of michigandaily.com Ann Arbor, Michigan Wednesday, March 9, 2016 ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF EDITORIAL FREEDOM INDEX Vol. CXXV, No. 85 ©2016 The Michigan Daily michigandaily.com NEWS......................... 2A OPINION.....................4A SPORTS ......................7A SUDOKU..................... 2A A R T S . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 A STATEMENT.................1B NEW ON MICHIGANDAILY.COM Rabab Jafri: Muslims for Black lives MICHIGANDAILY.COM/SECTION/OPINION GOT A NEWS TIP?

The body also heard from Todd Sevig, director of Counseling and Psychological Services. In his executive communica- tions to the body, CSG President Cooper Charlton, LSA senior, addressed the previously existing Section VII of the regent’s bylaws, which discussed student affairs and the incorporation of student opinions in University affairs. “In 2011 the Regent bylaws were ‘cleaned-up,’ so-to-speak,” he said. “Section VII was removed, which indicates the importance of student voice in the process of decision making in the University. We want to reinstitute (Section VII) and make sure that there is a healthy relationship. Let’s codify and show how important it is for students to have a voice in the decision-making process.” Public Policy sophomore Jacob Pearlman, CSG student legal coun- sel, wrote in an e-mail interview that CSG was working with sever- al executive officers to re-add the language. “CSG is working closely with Vice Presidents Churchill and Harper to add language to the cur- rently nonexistent Chapter VII,” Pearlman wrote. “This language will reaffirm the University’s com- mitment to ensure that students are in an environment to thrive as Leaders and Best.” Pearlman added that CSG is currently collaborating to put together the proposed language, and aim to have it adopted in the next few months. Changing the Regents’ bylaws requires a vote of the Regents at one of their regu- larly scheduled meetings.

Trump was followed by Gov. John Kasich (R–Ohio) who won 25.9 percent. Gov. Ted Cruz (R– Tex.) — who nationally follows Trump by 15.2 percent according to a RealClearPolitics polling average — came in third with 22.5 percent of the vote, and Sen. Marco Rubio (R–Fla.) finished fourth earning only 9 percent of the vote, with 25.5 percent of precincts reporting.
