Missouri...Trump prevails by 1,639 votes.

[TemplarKormac]

LOL. So it's over?

Yes...and no.

The MoSOS certifies these results just like an election that has a 20 point spread. So, yes, these are the official results of the election.

BUT...the candidate can still ask for a recount, because the result was within 1% of the total votes cast. If the candidate asks for a recount, the results are then in dispute and a recount will ensue, voiding the certification. The official results will then be the certified recount totals.

Guess we'll have to wait until April then. Because Cruz will most definitely request a recount.

That county by county breakdown is nothing short of bizarre. I would have thought Cruz would have hit rural and Trump the urban centers. Interesting. TY!

Why would you think that? Trump does well when voters don’t have a clue of why they are voting for someone.

Good news!

Another RECORD BREAKING TURNOUT!!!

Nearly 1.6 million votes were cast in Missouri – a 39 percent voter turnout that broke the previous high mark for a presidential primary of 36 percent, which was set in 2008.


Clinton, Trump lead in Missouri primary by slim margins
​

Almost one million of that 1.6 million voted in the Republican primary.

OK....There is some misinformation in this thread, posted by me, so allow me to correct that.

The election has not been certified. It will take another month to count provisional and overseas absentee ballots. After that, Cruz has seven days to request a recount. So, we are looking at April 21st. If there is a recount, the MoSOS has 20 days to complete the recount and certify the result of the recount. That would put final results around May 11th.

Read about it at the link here.

Donald Trump Inches out Ted Cruz in Missouri - Breitbart

Trump seems to have won, but who knows?

Well, I guess Cruz chose not to request a recount.

Donald Trump Inches out Ted Cruz in Missouri - Breitbart

This is the delegate split if the results stand.

On the GOP side, state Republican Party chairman John Hancock said it’s likely that a recount would affect no more than 10 of that party’s 52 delegates. The preliminary breakdown, based on a complicated formula, awards 37 to Donald Trump and 15 to Ted Cruz.

And between now and April 15 [the earliest date a recount could be requested by state law], at least nine other states will hold primaries or caucuses. Which means that the winners and losers of Missouri's presidential primaries likely have other matters -- and delegates -- to claim their attention.

Another cautionary fact: There's only been a handful of recounts in Missouri statewide contests in recent decades -- and none has seen a change in outcome.

Missouri's recount process is long, complicated -- and rarely pays off
