Not saying there is no bias but it really is too close right now.

Even the squirrels are against Bernie. They always look at his signs real suspicious.

Only a third of the votes in, and it's so close. Yeah, the media has been disgustingly in the bag for Clinton, but I have no problem with not calling it just yet.

On the bright side, Sanders has pulled ahead in Indianapolis

16. Indianapolis keeps flipping back and forth- with one of them up 200-300 votes, and it's only 50%

reporting. Not sure why they would color in a lot of these already- they have 25-30% of the vote in, and it is close.

18. Big counties to watch

No precincts from Lake (Gary). Only early vote.

I don't have stats on party affiliation breakdown, but here's some overall totals.

There are about 300,000 registered voters in Lake in 2008. Lake traditionally has very high voter turnout (51% primary 2008). About 25% African American.

Marion County (Indianapolis) has about 700,000 registered voters in 2008. Turnout there appears to be lower than Lake (37% primary 2008). About 28% African American.

Big counties to watch

County | Registered Voters 2008 | Turnout Primary 2008

Allen | 250,000 | 34%

Elkhart | 110,000 | 41%

Hamilton | 175,000 | 44%

Lake | 300.000 | 51%

Marion | 700,000 | 37%

Porter | 110,000 | 41%

St. Joseph | 200,000 | 38%

Tippecanoe | 100,000 | 43%

Vanderburgh | 140,000 | 35%
