WASHINGTON (AP) – Five more states are chipping in verdicts on the Republican and Democratic presidential contests in races largely overshadowed by Super Tuesday and the big contests still to come.

Yet candidates eager to gather enough support to snag their party’s nomination – or at least stay relevant – are happy to scoop up delegates wherever they can.

On the Republican side, candidates Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich are competing in Maine, Kansas, Kentucky and Louisiana.

Democrats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are vying for support in Nebraska, Kansas and Louisiana.
