Bernie Sanders has won the Maine Democratic caucuses, giving the Vermont senator his third win of the weekend.

With 75 percent of the vote reported, Sanders leads with 63.8 percent of the vote, while Hillary Clinton follows with 36 percent.

Maine has 25 delegates which will be allocated proportional to results.

This victory follows the pattern of Sanders winning majority white states such as Vermont and Nebraska, while Clinton dominated the heavily black southern states.
