If Indiana's polls dont start closing for another 45 minutes, why is CNN/MSNBC...

[DJ13]

.....already starting to show Indiana vote counts on the bottom of their screen?

[Seen the light]

1. Some HAVE closed already nt

[DJ13]

10. I dont remember past states allowing vote tallies while other parts are still voting

I thought they werent supposed to do that anymore?

[Crabby Appleton]

14. It's a primary.

[high density]

2. Because they put Clinton waaay ahead for 35 minutes until more realistic numbers come in

Typical bullshit.

[ananda]

3. I can guess.. because Hillary's leading..

by nearly 20T%

If the rest of the evening goes like
that, Clinton will win big in Indiana.

That would be such a bummer.

[FlyingSquirrel]

6. That would not be following the normal pattern...

of starting Obama out with great numbers and then letting Hillary catch up throughout the night so it looks like she's made this GREAT comeback.

7. The rural counties are in.

The numbers are skewed. Don't sweat it yet.

4. Polls are closed in the eastern part of the state

Polls close at 6 in Indiana in the respective time zone. So the polls in the part of the state that's in Eastern Standard Time are closed. The networks will not call the state before all polls are closed, but they will start reporting results as they come in.

12. Very strange that they'd report results while some polls are still open

although we've seen that before (Fla in 200 for one).

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

5. Because it keeps you watching TV. n/t

[UndertheOcean]

9. Thats it

[frickaline]

8. aren't there 2 timezones there? I assume 1 zone has closed already

[Indenturedebtor]

11. Yes and small towns with few voters come in first...

Not as much counting and vote switching to do.

[dchill]

13. Eastern closed at 6. Central will close at 7.

:hi:
