9:23 PM: Yaawwn …. oh sorry.
9:14 PM: One thing you may be wondering about if you’re watching the election results is whether it can really be the case that almost 45,000 votes is really less than 1% of the votes. But remember, it’s less than 1% of the precincts, and the number of precincts doesn’t necessarily track at all with the number actual votes. Precincts come in different sizes, especially in urban vs. rural areas. So that’s what that’s about.
9:05 PM: So clearly Nikki Haley is going to win big tonight. But she needs to go over 50%. And with just under 50% of the precincts reporting, she’s at 47%. And that’s about where she’s been through the evening. That would leave her facing Gresham Barrett, in what could be a really tough contest.
8:42 PM: A trickle of early results coming in now. Check them out live down there to the right at the top of our election scoreboard.
8:31 PM: Polls in Arkansas just closed.
