LIVE UPDATES - Lake County, IN - ongoing count!

Short and sweet...

The Northwest Indiana Times is basically live-blogging updates on their website.

Late cartridges arrived in Crown Point

All Lake County cartridges are in,  including Gary, and being counted in Crown Point. The only missing cartridge is from Hammond 1-9.

Could Gary flip it?

It’s very lopsided," Clay said, pointing to a hand-written list of precinct results.
According to his numbers, in most districts Clinton’s turnout in the city of Gary was near non-existent. One district saw 126 voters turn out for Obama, while only four voted for Clinton.
Clay said the election is seeing a record turnout in the city.
"We’re used to having maybe a 22, 23 percent turnout for a primary. We’re seeing numbers as high as 85 to 95 percent," Clay said. "The Gary people took care of business."
