Sanders concedes Missouri
Class act all the way! Go Bernie!!!
Hillary Clinton has narrowly won the Missouri Democratic primary, and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders says he won't request a recount.
Clinton led Sanders by 1,531 votes, though some absentee votes still need to be counted. The announcement means Clinton swept all five states that voted in Tuesday night's primaries.
Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs told CNN that the Vermont senator won't request a recount because he wants to "save the taxpayers of Missouri some money."

He added of Sanders: "He's taking the contest all the way to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia."
