The 13th (out of 19) district has reported and Hillary Clinton now trails Barack Obama by ~~less than 2%.~~ about 6%. Numbers here apparently under-report Obama's total (see update below).

3:25 a.m. — After 13 districts have been counted, Sen. Barack Obama maintains a lead over Sen. Hillary Clinton in the Democratic caucus. Obama got 37 votes in Ordot, 19 in Maina, 151 in Inarajan, 46 in Asan, 55 in Chalan Pago, 87 in Santa Rita, 102 in Mongmong-Toto-Maite, 28 in Hagåtña, 158 in Barrigada, 36 in Merizo, 49 in Piti, 131 in Sinajana and 108 in Agana Heights for a total of 899 votes. Sen. Hillary Clinton took 18 votes in Ordot, 22 in Maina, 87 in Inarajan, 33 in Asan, 87 in Chalan Pago, 73 in Santa Rita, 81 in Mongmong-Toto-Maite, 29 votes in Hagåtña, 166 in Barrigada, 33 in Merizo, 51 in Piti, 89 in Sinajana and 105 in Agana Heights for a total of 874 votes.

Wow, this is kind of exciting. Might have to start looking into those 6 outstanding districts. Any Guamanian readers with special insights?

UPDATE: Guam media are offering somewhat contradictory results. This site says this:

13 precincts have reported so far, and Senator Obama has kept his 6 point lead (1007 to 874).

Also, one site says there are 19 districts and the other 21.

Mistake (0.00 / 0)

There was a miscount. The Obama votes in that 13th district were counted. If you count the voters, there is a discrepancy with the final total. He is still ahead by 6 to 8

Wrong numbers (4.00 / 1)

They forgot to add to Obama's count. He has 1007 votes, not 899:

The math is wrong. :) (0.00 / 0)

You can add up Obama's numbers yourself from what you quoted. It adds to 1007. They just forgot to update Obama's numbers with that last precinct.

Districts (0.00 / 0)

I read somewhere (too much reading today) that they took the smaller districts and incorporated them into one which made it 19 not 21 anymore.

Popular or delegates? (0.00 / 0)

Are these figures actual votes or caucus delegate totals?
