After losing Alabama badly to Barack Obama in 2008, Clinton bounced back eight years later to a 58-point routing against runner-up Bernie Sanders. Her landslide win in Alabama came from African Americans, who formed 54% of the Democratic electorate and backed Clinton over Sanders by a margin of 91-6. Clinton also won the white vote by a margin of 59-38.
Clinton carried every county in the state, but showed particular strength in the region in Central Alabama known as the Black Belt or the Cotton Belt where the share of African American voters is highest, including the city of Birmingham. She also showed strength in and around the city of Mobile including Mobile Bay, along the Gulf Coast.
Clinton's Alabama victory was her second-highest in any state in the 2016 primary season.
