Sounds like the Cruz camp is confident.

Wisconsin Government Accountability Board looking into Trump’s visit to crucial Waukesha polling place

A supporter of Donald Trump posted a video of the candidate greeting voters outside Waukesha Fire Station #5, a polling place, shortly before noon Tuesday.

Wisconsin law prohibits election activities such as holding campaign signs or distributing leaflets within 100 feet of a polling place, according to Michael Haas, elections administrator for the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board.

Hass confirmed that he had been told by the clerk for the City of Waukesha that Trump had entered a polling place. GAB officials were looking into the matter and contacting the Trump campaign to make it aware of the state rule, he said. A spokeswoman for the campaign did not answer her cellphone and did not immediately return a telephone call.

The question now is whether Trump will win any delegates at all.

He should still get between 6-12.

Hopefully Bernie is the beneficiary here if Trump is collapsing. 

[Fusionmunster]

Hopefully Bernie is the beneficiary here if Trump is collapsing. 

Possibly, it could also be independents and democrats switching over to vote for Cruz. Regardless, its gonna be a long 6 hours.

[jman123]

Are there dems and indies switching to vote Trump in good numbers?

If independents are coming out to stop Trump, they are probably voting Kasich.  I can't see being an independent and thinking, "I can't stand Trump, but that Cruz guy, he's my lad!"

Petty lawbreaking from Trump. How utterly unsurprising.

List of good twitters for the primary

Just got back from voting, my place was pretty packed even before rush hour.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

People apparently leaving lines in Green Bay due to long lines according to twitter news.

Hope that means Barrett wins re-election as Mayor against that piece of filth Donovan.

In other news I voted last week for Kasich to avoid the long lines. Also voted Bardley and Abele for County Exec.

Charlie Gasparino said that he was told by a Cruz staffer that if Cruz loses he's dropping out of the race.

Pretty confident, eh?

[yankeesfan]

Trump is in NY, doesn't have an election watch party tonight.  Per the Trump campaign, he is planning on blaming Kasich if he loses tonight.

Something I noticed: Washington County, Cruz country, has less precincts than many other counties with less population than it, including Door, a county with 28,000 people (Washington has around 130,000).

Cruz drops out if he loses eh?

[yankeesfan]

Only 32% voters angry with Washington.  This is going to be a Cruz blowout!
