Only 2100 votes between Kasich and Cruz now in Michigan!

Kasich still wins more delegates due to how delegates are distributed in districts.

90% of the vote in for MS and Trump at 47.6%. No way he hits the threshold of 50% to automatically get all the delegates. That may not matter though. Trump will probably still get all the delegates based on winning every congressional district.

Those delegates havent been confirmed yet have they?  I thought there were delegates for each place then the districts.  However, it looks like Rubio is being blanked totally tonight so far!

MS still might snug up to that 50% mark, based on what's out. Could be a close call. Still nothing from the counties with the big public universities....if Cruz does OK there (Oktibbeha and Lafayette) he should survive. Regarding delegates, this should be instructive:

For the purpose of bragging rights, Cruz is 600 votes behind Kasich in MI with almost half of Kent County still needing to come in.

And half of Wayne county. If it mattered, it would be pretty nerve-wracking.

Trump up early in Idaho

Oktibbeha came in with Cruz winning. That should do it. In the final tally, when I look for best demographic indicator, it seems to be educational attainment above all else.

Some more Wayne county came in with Cruz performing better in relation to what he'd gotten there earlier. He has a decent chance of edging Kasich.

Things tightening in ID with 17% in

Cruz up comfortably in Idaho early, but the rural Mormon areas are over represented in the count so far. Should tighten up, other than the other way around.

Ada county (Boise) almost tied in early precincts. We can see where this is headed.....comfortable Cruz win, doesn't threaten 50%.

Cruz lead grows as more comes in. Now slightly over 41%
