Republican Super Tuesday results thread (first polls close at 7pm ET)

[Bigby]

Based on the CBS link:

Texas
Cruz 42%
Trump 28%
Rubio 14%

Arkansas
Trump 33%
Cruz 32%
Rubio 24%

Roboto is in trouble.

No. The media will still spin it as RUBIO OUR LORD AND SAVIOR THE COMEBACK KID.

Even if robot man falls under the 20% requirement for delegates?

[Phony Moderate]

Of course if these numbers are more than just test data and/or early voting then Cruz is back in contention, or at least that will be the narrative.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Apparently CBS says it's like this in Virginia:

Trump 31.1%
Rubio 27.4%
Cruz 27.4%

[yankeesfan]

Georgia
Trump 33
Cruz  27
Rubio 24

If this data is real, tonight may be more interesting than expected.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Oklahoma apparently:

Cruz 32.5% Trump 30.3% Rubio 27.5%

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Guys, it's just test data.

[Beezer]

What's with all the #s that are being posted? I'm pretty sure no network is releasing exit polls 6 hours in advance nor is anybody releasing data from actual counts.

In fact I'm pretty sure Morden stated that the networks have a moratorium on releasing exit poll data prior to 5PM EST.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Who will win Minnesota? Last poll had Rubio - Cruz - Trump, personally i think TRUMP will dominate with around 32-35% here.

That's probably only in the Eastern Time Zone states, too, I'd imagine.  I can't imagine Oklahoma or Texas releasing their exit polls before 5:00 CST (6:00 EST) due to our polls closing an hour later than the eastern states.  Would that be accurate?

[The Other Castro]

So, we should assume these numbers are not real right?

[Phony Moderate]

So, we should assume these numbers are not real right?

CBS have pretty much confirmed themselves that they are not.

[yankeesfan]

So, we should assume these numbers are not real right?

People at 538 are saying its test data, so I'll believe that for now.

Edit: CBS took it down.

[PaperKooper]

CBS removed them, so probably just test data. 

[The Other Castro]

They should really try to make their test data more unrealistic so that people don't get confused.

[Thomas D]

Yeah, Like have Rubio actually winning a state.

My mother went to vote today in her 70% Republican precinct. At 2:30, she was voter #232 for the day (no idea how many voted early, but GA broke records). There were 391 votes cast in the 2008 primary.

[Admiral Kizaru]

CNN reporting high voter turnout in Texas so far. Breaking records.

[jimrtex]

Texas looks a little low energy, so I suspect Cruz is winning there. The rest are long, high energy lines.

Cruz is from houston specifically and that's where the photo is from. He will demolish there.

I'm slightly jealous when I see the picture of Houston voters in shorts and I'm here in 32-degree Illinois.

Hee!

To the former point, I went to the guy's high school and barely know anyone who likes him.  Most people I know can't stand him.

But, that's anecdotal, and he will probably win.

"Second Baptist School, a posh 42-acre campus in Houston’s affluent west side, with covered red brick walkways and edifices."

I think the Comical was trying to get the story distributed on the wire services.

He was class president, so he must not have been unpopular, just not popular in a social sense.

[jimrtex]

 One can clearly tell from the photos of voters that there are many people pondering their choices and contemplating switching candidates.  Clear evidence of a surge for Kasich and Carson.

Of the folks in Houston, 4 were looking at their cell phone, and 2 were reading a book.

There are around 50 offices on the ballot in Houston, so any contemplating their choices may have been looking at the other offices.

[Joe Biden 2020]

55 minutes until the first exit polls are released.

[The Other Castro]

Anyone know which site is the fastest to update? It'd be very convenient if Politico was the fastest because of its total results page, though it seems CNN has usually been the fastest.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Anyone know which site is the fastest to update? It'd be very convenient if Politico was the fastest because of its total results page, though it seems CNN has usually been the fastest.

CNN's been the fastest in my experience, followed closely by just typing 'massachusetts primary' (for example) into Google.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I know this is covered in Erc's thread, but I wanted to give a snapshot here.

At 6:00 pm CT there are 161 delegates closing
At 7:00 pm CT there are 231 delegates closing completely
At 7:30 pm CT there are 40 delegates closing
At 8:00 pm CT there are 155 delegates closing completely
At 11:00 pm CT there are 28 delegates closing

Keep that in mind this evening.  Bon appetit!

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

There were a lot of people at my polling location this morning, I get their around 6:50 and there was already nine people in line.

I thought you weren't old enough to vote

I assumed he was a high school senior, hence could easily be eighteen.

Ehhh way way closer to high school freshman.
