Maine doesn't official close until 7 pm.

It is 6:39 PM now in Main Saturday, March 5, 2016

Each State uses different election-software. 

For Cruz, Kansas is a great win and Maine is a stunning win.

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%??

I believe so. Trump's highest I think is 49%

Rubio currently in 4th place in ME with >30% in. Ouch.

What's up with Kentucky? 

They're doing a caucus this year (one time only?) and were supposed to close at 4 pm.

I believe the doors will close at 4 and the caucuses then start.
Update. I think your right. It opened at 10 and closed at 4.   

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

It will be critical for Cruz to maintain above 50% in Maine.  If he is above 50% he takes all of Maine.

Unfortunately, not gonna happen. Very unlikely in my opinion.

He is nowhere close to 50% in Maine. Won't happen. Simply beating Trump there will be good enough, in my book.

I'm getting tired of your liberal spin.  It isn't "critical".

Kasich and Rubio are killing Cruz in Maine. They are preventing from getting 50 percent.

OK, gotcha. That would be a useful indicator.

Don't give it too much weight, most Military are transient in nature, and tend to keep their hometowns as point of origin.

Exactly.  I'm happy with Kansas alone.  Close races are gravy.  It just increases the pressure on Rubio to drop and makes him look worse and worse...

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

Is Kansas a winner take all state?
