Voters cast ballots Tuesday as the competition for the Democratic presidential nomination expanded significantly with contests in 14 US states. After one-off contests in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina, the so-called Super Tuesday event brings a national tone to the nomination process, with voters in western, southern, northeastern and Midwestern states all taking part on the same day, along with those in the US territory of American Samoa.
