Missouri's secretary of state Jason Kander officially declared Tuesday that Donald Trump won a narrow victory over Ted Cruz and will win the state's 12 at-large delegates.
The final tally found Trump edging out Cruz 40.8%-40.6%, or by fewer than 2,000 votes in the March 15 primary.
The additional 12 delegates give Trump an important boost after he was swept by Cruz in Colorado over the weekend at the Colorado Republican convention.
The additional delegates bring Trump slightly closer to the 1,237 needed to secure the nomination. By CNN's estimates, Trump now has 758 delegates, Cruz has 538, Marco Rubio has 173 and John Kasich has 145.
The secretary of state also declared Hillary Clinton the winner there in her close race with Bernie Sanders -- she beat him 49.6%-49.4%, or by about 1,500 votes of the 630,000 cast in the Democratic primary.

In that I am in complete agreement with you. Another democrat in power following Stephen Barnard Dunham's )aka Barry Soetoro, aka Barak Hussein Obama) regime would likely end the Republic.
“Trump edging out Cruz 40.8%-40.6%, or by fewer than 2,000 votes in the March 15 primary. The additional 12 delegates give Trump”
This is crooked as Hades. That crooked, deceitful Donald is cheating again. So, an additional 0.2% of the vote buys you an additional 12 delegates, thus disproportionately disenfranchising the voters who voted for someone else? This is crooked and fixed and should not stand.
lolololololololol
However, come November, if Trump is our candidate, most, if not all Cruz voters will vote FOR Trump.
Okay, so the MO rules are pretty standard and they were followed, by rules which respect the voter choice. That’s very different from what happened in Colorado.
Wasn't it only this morning that I heard Trump whining about "one man one vote"?
Well at least he’s the most outside of the insiders!
First they spent tens of millions trying to boost their favorite presidential candidates, then they poured cash into ads attacking Donald Trump, and now some of the biggest donors on the right are turning their attention to the delegate fight.
Anti-Trump billionaires are funding ground operations in an increasing number of states to try to ensure the selection of national convention delegates who oppose Trump.
Keep saying that after the third and fourth
They are probably very concerned that he still believes like he did in 2000, that he wants to one time tax everyone in America's net worth at 14.5%.
I am personally very concerned about that too.
But who knows what he really believes now? Or tomorrow for that matter? But I sure don't want all my assets taxed 14.5% when he takes office, and then back to a regular tax and spend process.
Good news.
“Thats OK Cruz got all the MO delegates for the second round
“
No, he didn’t.
Were you at a MO district caucus? I was.
Have you spoken with MO Trump delegates since then? I did, last night.
Don’t lie about things you don’t know.
Still, it is not fair.
It is just not fair.
Not fair.
Huh? Such contorted thinking it makes you look rather silly.
saw him bragging about his 11 state wins and yet never mentions Trump has twice as many as that and 7 of those states he got are where the establishment control and not the voters.
Glad someone else see it that clearly. I fault the media for not correcting him when he uses that 11 win nonsense , as i understand it he doesn’t meet the 8 state minimum yet, and hopefully never will, but they let him crow on about 11 with no definition.
It was a joke.
the media are just giving him a pass until they need to attack him.
