Will the news orgs call it for TRUMP the moment polls close?

CNN will probably say it's "too early to call."

Looks like Rubio's unlikely to win. Thank God.

If Trump can repeat his >40% showing among early deciders from NH, he'll be fine. Big if, though.

So Trump's leading with economy and immigration (probably), Cruz with terrorism, and unknown with spending.

Do these exit polls account for the absentee ballots?

Why would Trump be leading with economy?

Because it was revealed earlier by ABC?

If those results are accurate, the media will write Cruz's obituary, slam Trump's underperformance, give Rubio all the momentum, then crown him inevitable nominee after he wins NV.

It's happening.

Rubio won't win Nevada.

They got the same numbers as CNN before CNN did.

If Trump has that kind of lead with absentees, he should beat his exit poll numbers.

Does anyone know how very conservative voters voted?

Exit polls have them going heavily for Cruz.

Trump romping in Horry County. Not too surprising.

Does anyone know whether Trump ended up cracking 30% in Lexington County? CNN and NYT have him at 30.0 but I don't know if they're rounding up.

Just under 30%.

Each of the six candidates won at least one precinct in SC. As far as I can tell, Bush only won one precinct, which would be the only precinct he won in the entire race. He got 8 votes in that precinct in Columbia County.

Why would early votes from Georgia count? Or were you thinking of Richland County?

Yeah, that's what I meant.
