This will also be a test for Overtime Politics. They say that they can get their numbers in "within 90-120 seconds of state officials announcing them." We'll see if they're able to do this. Someone can watch the AP/CNN threads (or any others that are faster) and see if Overtime is able to beat them or if they're just copying some other groups numbers. If that is so, and there is an error, we can easily tell.

(Posting and identical post over on the Nevada thread.)

Also, what's up with this... I could have sworn there were several other dropped candidates on the Republican side...

Yeah, there was like 14 people who were still on the ballot... did they just remove those candidates from the ballots before they were printed (no mention of doing something like this on the P2016 website)?

Since everyone just suspended their campaigns instead of fully ending them, they stay on whatever ballots they filed  to be on.

So why are they not included on CNN, the State Election Commission, or the AP link? I mean, CNN is understandable, but for New Hampshire, AP included every candidate, even the ones that dropped out.
