Super Tuesday is upon us and there are many questions that may get answered!

Super Tuesday: Which states are voting March 1, and six other things to know

WASHINGTON (AP) — Super Tuesday is the big gulp moment for any presidential candidate who makes it that far. It's the biggest day of competition in American democracy except for Election Day itself. It's super nail-bitey, super expensive and often super-clarifying — the killer and maker of dreams.

So will it set everything straight in the chaotic presidential race? Maybe. Quite possibly not.

Here's what you need to know:

———

THE LINEUP

Both parties are holding contests Tuesday in these states: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Virginia. Of those, Texas has by far the most delegates at stake, followed by Georgia, Massachusetts and Virginia.

Republicans will vote in Alaska, and Democrats in Colorado and American Samoa. Other "Democrats abroad" can vote from March 1-8. Wyoming's process starts with caucuses on March 1, but it won't wrap up until April.

Poll closing times (all Pacific standard time): 4 p.m. in Virginia, Georgia and Vermont; 5 p.m. in Oklahoma, Alabama, Tennessee and Massachusetts; 5:30 p.m. in Arkansas; 6 p.m. in Texas, Colorado and Minnesota; and 10 p.m. in Alaska.

With a third of the delegates to be selected tomorrow the shit gets real now.
 
Does Super Tuesday have a cape and a sidekick?

Not so super otherwise, is it?
 
Austin radio station flooded with reports of voting machines switching votes from Trump to Rubio

If you can't trust a voting machine in Texas, who can you trust?

Austin radio station KLBJ received around a half dozen complaints on Tuesday that Texas voting machines had change their votes, mostly from Donald Trump to Sen. Marco Rubio.

The hosts of KLBJ’s Todd And Don Show noted that three callers had already complained about their votes being switched from Trump to Rubio when a fourth caller dialed in to say her ballot had been switched from Trump to Linda Gray.

“That’s not good,” one of the hosts agreed. “You are the fourth person to call us in the past half hour to say they had that same problem. They voted for Trump but it popped up Rubio or somebody else. You’re the first to have somebody else, but the other three were Rubio.”

“Something’s fishy,” the host opined. “Something is going on strange. It appears it was one in Round Rock, one in Leander, one in Georgetown. So it appears to be a Williamston County problem.”
 
7 PM results:

Vermont Democratic: Bernie, of course
Georgia Democratic: Hillary in a blowout
Virginia Democratic: Hillary in a blowout

Georgia Republican: Trump, easily
Virginia Republican: Trump leads narrowly, not yet called
Vermont Republican: Trump leads, not yet called


8 PM results:

Alabama Democratic: Hillary
Tennessee Democratic: Hillary
Massachusetts Democratic: Sanders up early, no call
Oklahoma Democratic: No early call

Massachusetts Republican: Trump
Alabama Republican: George Wallace Jr, aka Trump
Tennessee Republican: Drumpf
Oklahoma Republican: No early call
 
Still no call in Virginia, even though Trump's lead is 7 points and more than 80% of the vote is in.



Polls closed in Arkansas!

Hillary wins the state where she was former first lady; too close to call on the Republican side between Drumpf and Alberta Ted.
 
Fox and NBC have called Virginia for Trump; still no call from the AP.


Clinton is nursing a very small lead in Massachusetts, but Sanders is ahead in Oklahoma by what's starting to look like a safe amount (he spent some time there this past week, as part of what seems to be a "campaign where there ain't no black folks" strategy).

Cruz has a teensy lead in Oklahoma.

Cruz is ahead in Texas, but there's not going to be a call until the Mountain Time polls closed.


Edit: AP gives Virginia to Trump after all.
 
Cruz and Clinton win Texas.

In a mild surprise, Cruz has also won Oklahoma, according to the AP. So he's now won 3 states compared to Rubio's none, but the media keep telling us Marco is the only real alternative to Trump. Well, OK.
 
Wrapping it up:

Trump wins:
Alabama
Arkansas
Georgia
Massachusetts
Tennessee
Vermont
Virginia


Cruz wins:
Oklahoma
Texas


Rubio wins -- and for real, not one of those second place "wins" he likes to talk up:
Minnesota
(Minnesota is also the first state where Trump has finished lower than second)



Clinton wins:
Alabama
Arkansas
Georgia
Massachusetts
Tennessee
Texas
Virginia


Sanders wins:
Colorado
Minnesota
Oklahoma
Vermont


Key to Clinton's night is that six of her seven wins were blowouts -- five wins were by more than two-to-one margins, and she was close to that in Virginia. That's a lot of delegates she piled up. Sanders's wins were more narrow, except for his home state, which unluckily for him is pretty tiny.
 
So, can we call it now and ignore this bollocks until the conventions?

Trump wants to keep Rubio and Cruz in the race.
