Georgia: On the Republican side Trump has a big lead and is expected to win. Delegates are divided statewide and also by district. If Trump (or someone else) wins with 50% in any district he gets all the delegates in that district. Also, statewide delegates only go to candidates who get at least 20% of the vote, which means either Cruz or Rubio could be on the borderline. On the Democratic side, Hillary goes into the contest with a huge advantage over Sanders. For Dems there are 102 delegates at stake.

7:41pm: Another interesting factoid from CBS News. Trump won the contest for white evangelical voters in GA:

7:30pm: Hillary’s edge with black voters was significant:

Notice that both Cruz and Rubio are above 20%. As mentioned above, that makes them eligible for some of the statewide delegates.

Colorado: The Colorado GOP canceled the party’s preference poll this year. However, on the Democratic side there is some drama as the demographics of the state make it possible for Bernie Sanders to be competitive. If Sanders wins here that could be a sign he is having a good night.

11:06pm: Sanders projected to win Colorado.

11:02pm: With 21.1% reporting, Sanders leads Hillary 57.46% to 41.23%.

10:07pm: Results just starting to come in. With 1.46% reporting, Sanders leads Hillary 52.26% to 44.43%.

9:27pm ET: No results yet.
