9A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 2016 Clinton on brink of Dem nomination; Trump strengthens path By JULIE PACE AP White House Correspondent WASHINGTON — Hil- lary Clinton emerged from New York’s presidential pri- mary closer to clinching the Democratic nomination and Eecoming the ¿rst woman to reach that milestone. Repub- lican Donald Trump strength- ened his own path to the general election with a com- manding victory, but has lit- tle room for error in the states ahead. The front-runners now hope to replicate their strong showings in New York in the cluster of Northeastern states next up on the primary calen- dar. Clinton was scheduled to spend Wednesday campaign- ing in Pennsylvania, while Trump had a rally planned in Maryland, as well as Indiana. Following her win in New York, a jubilant Clinton made clear she was moving past her unexpectedly competitive pri- mary battle with Bernie Sand- ers and setting her sights on the general election. “The race for the nomina- tion is in the home stretch, and victory is in sight,” Clinton declared to cheering support- ers. She mentioned Sanders only brieÀy as she appealed for support from his loyal backers, and saved her tough- est talk for Trump and Texas AP Photo/Julie Jacobson Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump pre- pares to speak during a New York primary night campaign event Tuesday, in New York.

Ted Cruz, deeming both “dangerous” for America. Ready to move on Trump, too, is eager to move past the Republican pri- maries. With at least 89 of New York’s 95 delegates in hand, he insisted it was “impossible” for any of his rivals to catch him and warned party leaders against trying to take the nom- ination away from him at the convention. Ohio Gov. John Kasich won at least three New York del- egates; Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was in danger of getting shut out. Neither has a mathemat- ical chance of clinching the nomination before the Republi- can convention in July, though they hope to block Trump’s path and overtake him at the GOP gathering. Cruz panned Trump’s win in New York as little more than “a politician winning his home state,” then implored Repub- licans to unite around his candidacy. “We must unite the Repub- lican Party because doing so is the ¿rst step in uniting all Amer- icans,” Cruz said. A freshman senator who has clashed repeat- edly with his own party, Cruz has generated only lukewarm support from GOP leaders who see him as the only option for stopping Trump. Solid victories But Trump’s victory Tues- day was hard to dispute, the bil- lionaire winning almost 61 per- cent of the popular vote, while Kasich won 25 percent and Cruz came in third with 14 percent. On the Democratic side, Clinton clinched New York with 58 per- cent of the vote, while Sanders won 42 percent. Clinton’s triumph padded her delegate lead, putting her 80 percent of the way toward clinching the Democratic nom- ination that eluded her eight years ago. Appealing to Sand- ers’ loyal supporters, Clinton said, “There is more that unites us than divides us.” Exit polls suggested Demo- crats were ready to rally around whomever the party nominates. Nearly 7 in 10 Sanders support- ers in New York said that they would de¿nitely or probably vote for Clinton if she is the par- ty’s pick. Sanders energized young people and liberals in New York, as he has across the country, but it wasn’t enough to pull off the upset victory he desperately needed to change the trajectory of the Democratic race. Still, the Vermont senator vowed to keep competing. “We’ve got a shot to vic- tory,” Sanders said in an inter- view with The Associated Press. However, his senior adviser, Tad Devine, said later that the cam- paign planned to “sit back and assess where we are” after a string of contests next week. Of the 247 Democratic dele- gates at stake in New York, Clin- ton picked up at least 135 while Sanders gained at least 104. Oregon Independent Party gets clarity on presidential nominations By KRISTENA HANSEN Associated Press PORTLAND — Gearing up for its ¿rst state-run primary election next month, the Inde- pendent Party of Oregon got some clarity this week about how it’ll be allowed to pick a presidential nominee. Registered members of the IPO party, which became Ore- gon’s third major party last year, will pick their presiden- tial candidate of choice through a write-in on their ballots, but whoever claims the most votes in the state’s May 17 primary won’t necessarily get the party’s nominee. Instead, party lead- ers can have the ¿nal say, under certain parameters, the Ore- gon Department of Justice said Monday. It won’t affect the Repub- lican or Democratic contests, which are restricted to voters registered in those perspective parties. But it’s the ¿rst time in recent memory that Oregon’s primary contest will have three major parties, and the Inde- pendent Party wanted more control over who it nominates, even when it doesn’t have its own presidential candidate, as is the case this year. “It’s not aimed at being stuck with an unappetizing choice — it was aimed at the forces of the state to not interfere with the Independent Party in a man- ner that was totally discrimina- tory,” said Linda Williams, party chairwoman. While state law says the per- son with the most votes gets nominated or wins, the Depart- ment of Justice said there’s an exception for presidential nom- inations, which follows a sep- arate process. Thus, Indepen- dent Party leaders don’t have to nominate the presidential candi- date with the most write-ins, the department told the party in a memorandum. The Oregon Secretary of State’s of¿ce had expressed con- cerns about giving “veto power” to party leaders last month, sug- gesting it might be inconsis- tent with state election laws and asked the DOJ to weigh in. “Now that the law is clear, the IPO is free to operate within the law,” Laura Terrill, chief of staff to Secretary Jeanne Atkins, told The Associated Press. “Because of the potential for voter confu- sion, however, the Secretary has encouraged the IPO to make its process clear on their website or other places where the public can be informed.” Party leaders can’t pick just anyone — if Donald Trump, for instance, won the national GOP nomination, the IPO couldn’t nominate Sen. Ted Cruz, the Department of Justice stated. And the party also needs the candidate’s permission to be of¿cially nominated. Williams said Monday’s memo was a victory for the IPO, saying it affords them the same rights as Republicans and Dem- ocrats who use delegates and superdelegates — not voters — to ultimately select presidential nominees. “The pushback from us was, frankly, that that was unconsti- tutional and illegal,” said Wil- liams, referring to Atkins’ previ- ous position on the issue. “The state cannot step in and order a political party to put somebody as their nominee.” When of¿cial write-in results are posted by early June, Williams said the IPO will nar- row its options, have members weigh in on their preferences through an online process and declare its nominee by the late August deadline.
