  • Guam, with an estimated population of 173,456, held its Democratic Presidential caucus Saturday, May 3, 2008.
  • Preliminary results show Barack Obama won with seven more votes then Hillary Clinton. There were 576 "spoiled ballots" that were not counted.
  • According to the Pacific News Center "Herbie Perez, chairman of the nominating committee, said she will not certify the results because the Committee needs to ensure that all the uncounted ballots were properly identified as "spoiled.""
  • Party officials and representatives of the Obama and Clinton campaigns are expected to meet early this week to address the issue.
  • A second issue is the fact that more than 8,100 ballots were printed in response to shortages at precinct sites however, only 4,500 were counted and it is unsure what happened to the other 3,600 ballots.
