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

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

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.

Funny, there weren't many people at my polling place in Newton, although I got there at about eight so maybe the morning rush had already subsided. (I voted tactically for Rubio in the Republican primary, which I'm already sort of regretting.)

I thought you weren't old enough to vote

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

If you live in Newton, then I live only several towns over from you in Natick, Massachusetts. It is neat to see someone online who lives literally minutes away.

I LIVE-live in Greenfield, out west near the Vermont border, but I'm a grad student at BU so I stay in Newton during the school year. One of my cousins used to live in Natick. I have other cousins in Framingham and, formerly, Southborough.

Cool. I find it interesting that you elected to vote for Rubio on the Republican Party ticket. Was your preferred candidate Sanders and you have decided that he has no chance of winning the National primary race against Clinton?

My preferred candidate was initially Sanders, then I developed some problems with a few of his views and the way he was campaigning that soured me on him, and I was orphaned for a while. Now, I'm planning to vote for Clinton in the general, but I want to hedge my bets by having her face the least flagrantly objectionable Republican option (which is, from my perspective, technically Kasich, but he doesn't have a chance, whereas Rubio has a minuscule chance).

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.

HELLO NAUGHTY CHILDREN IT'S RESULTS TIME

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

Oh dear god, if I could drink I would.

I think tonight's a night for South Korean grain alcohol for me

CAN'T LASIK THE KASICH

CNN just now calling GA for Trump

This feels more and more like 2000.  It's just exit polls, not actual vote tallies.

Exit polls in which he's ahead almost two-to-one. Don't concern troll.

Any races already called? Just tuned in.

Georgia for Trump, all three Democratic races that have closed (Vermont, Virginia, Georgia) for who you'd expect.

CNN just now calling GA for Trump

This feels more and more like 2000.  It's just exit polls, not actual vote tallies.

Exit polls in which he's ahead two-to-one.

Exit polls in which Gore was winning in Florida, and raw vote tallies had Bush leading.  And exit polls in which Kerry won by a landslide in 2004.

None of which involved someone leading by a nearly two-to-one margin and ending up losing.

Kerry was winning by 15-20 points in the exit polls from several close states.

Oh for Christ's sake. The ratio is important, the state fundamentals are important, the previous polling in the state is important, the fact that polling technology has improved in the past eleven years is important.

Any projections at the top of the hour?

Alas, probably Massachusetts for Trump.

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

Trump returns to the lead in VT.

Super early in Vermont still

You're so stupid.  It's clear that Trump will win in Vermont.

There really isn't much of a method to your madness, is there?

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

I'm telling you, they're gonna get burned one of these days.  Nobody is in a position to call Massachusetts yet.

TRUMP HAS BEEN IN THE FORTIES OR EVEN LOW FIFTIES IN LITERALLY EVERY POLL FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS

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

What if Cruz wins Oklahoma, Arkansas, texas and Alaska, Kasich wins Vermont and Rubio wins Minnesota and Virginia?

Then the Beets of the world will cream themselves about a brokered convention even more.

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

Kasich ties Trump in Gosnold, Massachusetts, population seventy-five!

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

HA!  Trump only barely leads in MA, and they've already called it.  This exactly proves my point.

If you had even a remote understanding of Massachusetts political geography, would know that no, it really doesn't.

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

Rubio WINS Monroe, Massachusetts, population 121, with a whopping six votes!

I hope Trump doesnt win the Vineyard

*New England people problems*

I mean, people who actually live on the Vineyard full-time can be forgiven some resentment, but not Trump-style resentment.
