Idaho and Hawaii GOP Results (Update: Sanders wins Michigan)

I’ll be updating this thread with results for Idaho and Hawaii, both of which have GOP votes tonight.

First up, Idaho moved it’s primary up by two months this year. Polls in the GOP primary are set to close at 8pm local time tonight (10pm EST). Democrats will have their primary in the state two weeks from now on March 22nd. There are 32 GOP delegates at stake in Idaho. The state is not winner-take-all; however, the threshold for receiving delegates is 20%. That makes it likely that trailing candidates will get no delegates. It’s also possible that if, for instance, Trump wins with 40+% and his opponents all finish in the mid to high teens, he would claim all of the delegates for the state. Finally, if anyone gets 50% of the vote, they take all the delegates but that is not expected to happen with the vote split four ways.
