Does anyone know when the results are released?

Do we know who won?

Vote counting occurring today.

Arlington doesn't have many Republicans to begin with, but I can't see that 1000s of them actually came out to vote in this thing.

Anyone else have a guess?

My guess - 5,000

It’s all electronic, isn’t it? How long can that take?

I have no guess on how many voted. But how long can vote counting take when it was all done online? Better release results today or will start to look fishy.

Not all electronic. There was in person voting as well.

It was in person but voting was still done online. Not using paper ballots.

There were 6000 ballots cast online (in some form). They are being printed out today and counted by hand, maybe to verify?

I really don't like that ACDC provided a daily list of people who had voted to the campaigns, so they could know whether their supporters had voted or not. (Just that they voted, not how they voted.) It just doesn't feel like that information should be available to the candidates in real time like that. Maybe this is the new era of voting and whipping votes.

Wow. I would not have guessed we are printing and hand counting electronic ballots? That's just bizarre.

I think it feels weird b/c of the multiple days- but don't parties also get lists of who hasn't voted on election day at various times? They start calling people who haven't voted and trying to get them to come vote, offering rides, etc.

A typical turnout for a SB-only caucus is maybe 3,000.
