So what’s up with the Sanders-Clinton fight in Indiana? The first round of exits – notoriously wrong – showed Sanders with a 12 point margin. But the initial results pointed to a solid Clinton win. Since then Sanders is doing pretty well in some key areas. He’s keeping it very close in Marion County (Indianapolis) where Clinton should run up pretty solid numbers. And statewide, with about 20% of precincts reporting it’s the thinnest possible lead for Sanders.
Keep an eye on Marion Country, which currently has only about 18% of precincts reporting. And critical, note that there are no votes in from Lake County (Gary). Indiana is about 13% African-American, Lake County is about 25% African-American. Clinton likely wins by a substantial margin there. What remains out looks better for Clinton.
Late Update: About 10,000 votes are now in from Lake County and Clinton has a 2:1 margin. That should keep her in this.
