Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI don't get how they can call it for Cruz when Houston was only 16% reported!
Dallas area was only around 25% reported as well. Cruz was only up 150k votes!! It just doesn't make sense to me.

I'm so freaking angry right now. This can't be happening! Is it possible that they called it too soon? What are the chances?
