Republican Wild Western Tuesday results thread

[Why]

We are less than an hour before the first results, probably a lot of results, come out of Arizona?

Sigh....the struggle of being on the east coast and waiting for these silly mountain states to get going

I am in the middle of the day in Australia, I just was checking I had the time correction correct.

[Why]

What is really bad?

[Why]

What is really bad?

Only having 60 polling places in the entire state and the Democratic caucuses in Idaho and Utah.

Yes it does seem a little bit silly to reduce the polling places to less than a third of the previous primary, especially given this is a contest that has brought out record numbers to vote in other contests.

[Why]

Wolf Blitzer: We're ready to make projections....as soon as we know something.

LOL.

[Why]

So we should get something from Arizona pretty soon

[Why]

To stop people in the long lines learning of the early results before they vote?

To stop counting centres rushing to try and get things out early and making mistakes?

[Why]

These a massive figures for Cruz. Somewhere in the 60-75% looks possible but they are only a few figures and might not be indicative of the whole state.

[Why]

If Trump gets 15% then Kasich needs to get 35%+ to ruin Cruz's night. Only one of the early figures seems to put him anywhere near that so at this stage 50%+ for Cruz is look extremely likely.

[Why]

Cruz is not overcoming that kind of defect in the largest county. 

[Why]

So a huge win for Cruz in Utah and a comfortable win at least for Trump in Arizona look to be the most likely results.

[Why]

The margin in percentage terms will certainly come down as the Rubio every vote percentage is diluted amongst the full voting but the margin in actual votes will keep growing.

[Why]

We now wait until the certain call of Utah for Cruz after the first results come in.

[Why]

Cruz will beat other, the percentage of other will drop quickly when the early votes are mixed with the voting from today.

[Why]

Has there been any tweeted reports of caucus results that show Cruz under 50%?

[Why]

Thank you.
Still that is just over 45%, and not many votes in total. Nothing to indicate that the results 65% and above have opposite caucus's where he is under 35% to drag his vote under 50%. It seems like over 60% is more likely than under 50%

[Why]

Trump doing much better than expected but maybe that will change when more precincts come in.
Most of the difference comes from Washington County which has the most votes counted by far.

[Why]

cruz down to 59%!

Yes, Kasich in Sevier has brought Cruz down slightly.

[Why]

cruz down to 59%!

Yes, Kasich in Sevier has brought Cruz down slightly.

wrong, it's SLC.

The results I have from SLC show Cruz at 63.9%, so that is not causing him to be under 60% statewide.

[Why]

Cruz is under 60% only in Millard, Washington and Sevier. Washington has Trump doing better than most other counties, Millard has Trump and Kasich both doing better and Sevier of course has Kasich winning.

[Why]

Anyone got more than 3% counted in Utah?

[Why]

That is 61 precincts according to NYT.

[Why]

why are utah dem votes being couted so much faster. at almost 20%


also, why is arizona stuck at 69?

There is a lot less of them per precinct?

[Why]

The results did not start coming in until the same time and there was more Republican counted right at the start of results.

[Why]

is arizona not counting again until lines are gone?

That would be stupid. If they were going to do that why did they release any results?
