election results from Fairhaven, Vermont.

There's a new mayor in town, and he's a therapy dog named Murphy.

That's not the only political story we have today.

Results are coming in from Super Tuesday, when Maur delegates are awarded than any other day in the U.

S presidential nomination process, and former Vice President Joe Biden and US Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont are now the two clear front runners for the Democratic Party.

Analysts say they could have a long battle for delegates in the months ahead.

Incumbent President Donald Trump won all of the states that helped primaries on Tuesday, so it's a foregone conclusion that he'll defeat his Republican challenger, former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld.

But we're focusing on the Democrats today because their race is less certain.

When we produced this show, former vice president Biden had one in 10 of the 14 states holding Democratic primaries on Super Tuesday Senator Sanders, one in at least three states and in the one caucus held on Tuesday in the territory of American Samoa.

The victory went to former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Despite that, though, he dropped out of the race on Wednesday, leaving four Democrats still in it.

Bloomberg said the delegate math just didn't add up for him to get his party's nomination.

The meth we had last night was incomplete.

Biden was leading with 435 delegates to Sanders 381.

But California is the biggest prize from Super Tuesday, with the most delegates, and Sanders was leading.

They're the final results may not be known for weeks, so it's possible he could catch or even pass Biden in the Super Tuesday delegate count.

The process of counting delegates is a complicated one.

In the Democratic presidential primaries, voters go to the polls to pick their party's nominee for president.

Their votes matter, but not in the way you might think.

What they're really deciding is how many delegates each candidate is awarded from their state, and the nominee doesn't become official until those delegates meet at the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in July.

Delegates represent the choice of voters from around the country.

Think of a delegate like a spokesperson for a group of voters, whether the group is an individual district or an entire state.

Convention delegates are awarded to candidates proportionally.

If a candidate is able to win at least 15% of the votes, let's say Candidate eh gets 56% of the vote in a state candidate B gets 24% and candidates C and D get 10% each.

Candidate C and D don't receive any statewide delegates because they did not get at least 15% of the vote.

The total vote is now re calculated with the candidates who met that 15% requirement A and B the number of votes candidate A received is 70% of the total votes that are viable.

That means Candidate gets 70% of the state delegates and Candidate B gets the other 30%.

Only about 1/3 of all pledged delegates are awarded by statewide results.

A majority are awarded based on the results in congressional or local districts.

That means each state has a mix of statewide and district delegates.

So while the two remaining candidates, D and C, won't get any statewide delegates they could be awarded other delegates if they get at least 15% of the votes in a local district.

Once all the statewide and district delegates are awarded across the country, it's convention time.

A candidate must have a majority of these delegates to win the official nomination.

You also may be wondering what happens to the delegates allocated two candidates who dropped out before the convention.

Well, it's up to the campaigns that are remaining toe lobby those delegates and win them over to their candidate.

There's one more twist to the delegates story.

In addition to all the pledged delegates from states and local districts, there are also about 770 superdelegates delegates made up of elected officials, activists and party officials.

They can pledge their vote to whichever candidate they wanted the convention.

But under new Democratic Party rules, superdelegates won't be able to vote on the first ballot for the nominee unless it's mathematically impossible for their votes to change the outcome.

If no candidate wins a majority of delegates, meaning no candidate gets to 1991 delegates on the first ballot.

That's when a convention becomes contested or broker.

In that scenario, meaning a second ballot at the convention, superdelegates are now free to vote, and all the previously pledged delegates are also free to choose among the remaining candidates.

Voting at the convention continues until one candidate wins a majority of all voting delegates, and then the Democratic Party has its nominee.

There's a state of emergency in the state of Tennessee.

The National Weather Service says it doesn't know how many tornadoes touched down there earlier this week, but they left hundreds of buildings in shambles and killed at least 24 people.

The middle part of the state, including some areas east of Nashville, the capital, were hit by a tornado winds as high as 165 miles per hour.

A bridge builder who designed the tower, also had a hand in the creation of another Parisian landmark, what's known as the world's first department store.

And while LeBeau Marseille isn't the biggest store in Europe, that title goes to Harrods of London.

The French building has a unique history and allure all its own.

Thankfully, Paris is synonymous with shopping as it is elegance and the city's vast monuments to shopping.

Come on, come in, celebrating boutique Satria longer the last 7 11 back, Aristide and his wife, Margaret, slowly acquired several other buildings around their shop to form one huge store framed by these four streets.

It's located in Paris, in the leg Monk, and it's reeling to all the art and literature.

It's like the world off fashion and beauty and cosmetic altogether.

Do this metallic architecture allowed for the creation of huge glass canopies to let lots of natural light in back in the mid 18 hundreds?

This was especially important as many buildings used gas lighting and tended to be quite.

There are 13 of these campaigns and their signature feature of this store way like to have this kind of vodka vodka.

It's like a hit or blow to the heart crush or strong attraction, even love at first sight.

And if we have this good girl way, hope our customer will have them will have it as well.

It looked unreal, and many of those who woke up to this last weekend wished it had been.

The temperature was in the low twenties, and gale force winds were buffeting large waves across lake.

Eerie when they crash to the shore, the mist coated.

The house is creating a frozen winter wonderland that some were worried would damage their homes.

We've heard of water damage, but that's ice ice, baby.

Our friends near Patoski might see it in Michigan.

Folks in Canada might be hearing about it, and some upstate New Yorkers may see it one day.
