No. He got a bit closer though.

People on CNN talking about counting provisional/absentee ballots tomorrow in MO. A campaign can call for a recount if < 1%

Don't know how many MO provisional ballots are out there, we'll know more later today. The loser after that will almost certainly call for a recount.

I love that people are still voting for Rand.

Never wrong to vote principle especially since he was the only one who actually deserved the nomination.

Oh yeah, a guy who threw Cliven Bundy under the bus in order to suck up to Al Sharpton, and it was a brilliant move too, just look at all those blacks that came out in mass to vote for him and donate to his campaign. Then of course endorsing a terrible candidate while his father was still in the race, good to know he's loyal to his family.

So I guess to Rand it's OK for the govt to go rough people up and point guns at them if that citizen happens to be some old timer who still says "Negro", heck, I still say "Black" even tho now I guess I'm supposed to say "African-American", well, sure hope a reporter never interviews me and tapes me saying "Black" or it's open season on my head.

Delegate breakdown according to Frontloading HQ so far:

Florida:

Trump 99
all others 0

Ohio:
Kasich 66
all others 0

North Carolina:

Trump 29
Cruz 27
Kasich 9
Rubio 6
Carson 1 (with 1.0% of the vote which is like 0.7 delegates, so it depends on rounding rules if he gets one or not)

Illinois:

Trump 53
Cruz 9
Kasich 7

Cruz and Kasich picking up some directly elected CD delegates, but not too many


Missouri

Trump 42
Cruz 5
Not allocated yet 5 (= 1 CD)

I would say its a bit premature still to allocate the at-large delegates yet to Trump. Not many votes are to come in anymore, but given how tight the race is - Trump leading by only 1,700 votes - there will be maybe a recount and much double-checking still. However, FHQ allocated them already to Trump. Looks like he also won 6 out of 8 CDs, I have no further detailed info on that at the moment.

If nothing big happens in Missouri anymore, its been a huge night for Trump.

Update on Missouri:

The numbers remain the same so far. All precincts are counted, but absentee and provosional ballots remain uncounted. They will wait until tomorrow (Friday) for oversees absentee votes, then start counting these. No one knows how many these are. If the difference between the frontrunners will stay smaller than 0.5%, Cruz could demand a recount due to MO law. However, his team said that there no plans to do that (yet).

CNN counted a bit different than FHQ the votes in the CDs and says 5 were won by Trump, while 3 had Cruz pluralties. So the CNN delegate count so far is:

Trump 25
Cruz 15

12 at-large-delegates are not called yet by CNN, due to the small difference of only 1,700 votes.
