As of this post polls are closed in both Ohio and North Carolina.
Ohio is a winner take all state with 143 delegates up for grabs for the Democrats, and North Carolina splitting its 107 delegates between Sanders and Clinton.
In half an hour the polls close in Florida, Illinois, and Missouri.
Florida is also a winner take all state, and the biggest prize of the night, with 214 delegates available for the winning Democrat, and 156 from Illinois and 71 from Missouri to be split between the two.
If Hillary takes both Florida and Ohio, like she did in 2008, she will gobble up 357 delegates, and, assuming she wins or does well in the remaining states, stands to increase her lead over Bernie by quite a significant margin.
On the Republican side polls show Kasich either slightly ahead or tied with Donald Trump for that state's 66 delegates, but Trump is far ahead in every other contest.
If both Kasich and Rubio fail to win in their states it is a good bet that one, if not both, will drop out, leaving Ted Cruz to continue battling the Donald for the nomination.
So the GOP nominee is going to be wither Trump or Cruz huh?
Good job Republican party, good job.
I will keep updating this post as the results come in.
Stay tuned.
