About an hour after the polls closed at 8:30 p.m. ET Tuesday night in Arkansas, networks determined that the GOP primary race there was still too close to call.

Arkansas’ primary was just one of the contests in the Southern-dominated Super Tuesday where a number of delegates were up for grabs. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has already won a handful of those contests, while Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) won Texas and Oklahoma.

Trump led Arkansas by a small margin at 32.35 percent of votes with .28 precincts reporting. TPM’s PollTracker Average showed Trump with 34 percent support, Cruz with 27 percent, and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) with 20 percent ahead of the primary.
