Thanks for the comments Lonely Bull.
I didn’t want to gloat over it, so the Cruz folks could review it for themselves and make what they would out of it.
I think it’s pretty clear what happened.
I also think there’s a strong likelihood the fallout will be seen to grow in the next day or two.
We’ll see if my hunch is correct.
I say this, because some folks only heard about it fully today, and may have already voted.
I noticed some other things about today’s vote that I’ll comment on after I stop the caucus.
I don’t want my observations and comments to interfere with the vote.

Please be sure to ping me when you do. I want to see what you have to say.

I'd be interested to see if the extra Trump votes are "new" versus from folks that used to vote for Cruz. It seems that Saturdays are always a lower day for Cruz.
In fact, I would love to see a table of voters, who they voted for, and what their member date is, plotted over time. I assume you have that in your data somewhere. There seems to be a lot of 1998-2000 vintage voters that otherwise do not seem to participate on the forum.
But if the extra Trump votes came from fresh sign ups, that is much different from former Cruz voters now voting Trump.
Thanks for running this.

I did too; sometimes I tend towards a little understatement.

I'm wondering about not only these votes but the actual elections this Tuesday.
