Maybe you could expand on this comment? I'm not sure I'm clear on the implication.

When people leave home, they don't change their mailing address, and definitely don't change their voter registration, considering that's where their roots are, so electing local leadership remains high.
Point is, most change their duty station three times at a minimum during their time in service, and re-registering to vote is a headache, so most either have their parents fill out their ballots, or they do absentee.

I simply had my dad vote for me while I was in since he knew more about the issues and we were both solid Conservatives, I'd just sign the ballot and send it back, and I'd be willing to bet a lot of servicemen do as well.

Still a fair amount out in Kansas and I dont want to jinx it but if it holds will this be the FIRST contest on the GOP side with a candidate getting over 50%??

97% in


Ted Cruz              48%

Donald Trump      23%

Marco Rubio         17%

Link?

The (even) more hillbilly-ish regions of Kentucky are going heavily for Trump, which might be skewing the numbers somewhat. Basket case Clay County, for instance, Trump 887, Cruz 335. Unfortunately, there are a lot of hillbilly-ish parts of Kentucky. Cruz might do better in the western and central regions.

Maine will be a wash.  About equal delegates for Trump and Cruz.

Kentucky with 7% in shows Trump ahead of Cruz by about 7 %, Rubio is third....wayyy third in just about every place...toldja the last debate sunk his boat.

OK, I get your drift then.

Don't worry...  Donald is still competitive... You just need to cheer for Marco to stay in.

Kansas Caucus rules:
    25 delegates at-large proportional distribution 10% threshold
    12 delegates (3/district) proportional distribution.
     3 delegates seated integrated.
40 total delegates

Maine Caucus rules:
    23 delegates at-large.  50/10 Mixed distribution.

Kentucky Caucus rules:
    45 delegates at-large with proportional distribution 5% threshold

Louisianna Primary rules:
    26 delegates at-large proportional 20% threshold
    18 delegates (3/district) proportional no threshold
    3 delegates integrated

Maine will be a wash.  Even split between Cruz and Trump.
Kansas delegates will be 2/3 for Cruz 1/3 for Trump
Kentucky will favor Trump slightly.
Louisiana polled for Trump.  No results yet?

I'm hoping they have enough data to make that call....  otherwise they take a credibility hit.

I hope so cause no one else is reporting anything more than 12% in of the vote in Maine.
