Hillary Clinton has won the Democratic presidential primaries in Virginia and Georgia in the so-called Super Tuesday elections, while rival Bernie Sanders won in his home state of Vermont, according to early estimates.
Polling agency projections also showed that Republican frontrunner Donald Trump was projected to have won in Georgia, as voting ended in the first three of a dozen states holding Democratic and Republican presidential nomination votes on Tuesday.
Super Tuesday is the most important single day in the long process to determine the Republican and Democratic Presidential candidates for the November 8 election to succeed Democratic President Barack Obama.
On Super Tuesday, 595 delegates are at stake for Republicans. For Democrats, there are 1,004.
Considering Republican candidates need 1,237 delegates to win the party's nomination and Democrats need 2,383, Super Tuesday is one of the most important days in the US presidential election.
