Ted Cruz leads Donald Trump in Idaho Republican primary; Rubio, Kasich far behind
Today, Idaho became the first state in the contiguous Pacific Northwest region to hold a nominating event in the 2016 presidential contest. The polls have now closed in the Gem State’s Republican primary, and here are the early results:
Idaho Republican Primary: March 8th, 2016
With 95 of 955 precincts reporting.
(includes absentee precincts where applicable)

Unofficial early results are here.
It’s still early, but there’s no doubt Ted Cruz is off to a good start. He has a small but important lead over Donald Trump. Rubio and Kasich, meanwhile, are at a distant third and fourth place, and probably won’t be contending for victory in this election.
Thirty-two delegates are at stake in Idaho. It is not a winner-take-all state, so no matter how well Ted Cruz does, he’ll still be splitting some delegates with Trump.
POSTSCRIPT: Cruz cruised to victory in this contest.
Idaho Republican Primary: March 8th, 2016
With 963 of 963 precincts reporting.
