This is the complete breakdown -- by geography -- of the Democratic primaries held Super Tuesday, showing vote percentages for the major candidates in rural, exurban and urban counties.

By Tim Murphy

The states are arranged by region — South, Northeast, Midwest and West. For each state, we show the percent of vote in rural, exurban and urban counties for each candidate. And we show the total percent of vote for each of these geographic designations. Finally, we tally the states by region, to show how each candidate did in a broad, geographic area.
