Lake County Turnout?
From the Indiana SOS website:
For the 2004 presidential election, there were 353k registered voters in Lake County Indiana and 193k of them voted in the presidential election.
How does that translate to tonight? I don't know. However, 60/40 split of 200k votes would net Obama 40,000 votes.
Update: As an example of how close this race will be, Lake County is the second largest county by population of registered voters, and it is reporting 0% at this point. At my last check, Obama was up 46,000 votes in Marion county (Indy) and he was only trailing Hillary by 42,000 votes overall.
Lake's turnout will be really, really interesting, especially if it is anything like Marion County. I just love that it pushes any speech by Hillary later and later into the night, if at all.
Update II: Uh... Oh... someone's within 38,000 votes.
