With roughly 80 percent of the vote counted in Nebraska, several media outlets have called the race for Sen. Bernie Sanders. Sanders is leading rival Hillary Clinton with 55 percent of the vote to Clinton's 45 percent. Major population center Lancaster County (home to capitol city Lincoln, and the University of Nebraska at Lincoln) has yet to announce official results, but it is expected to lean Sanders. The Vermont senator won Kansas' caucus earlier Saturday.
