So NPR this morning is reporting she won 4/5 and MO is too close to call...

Morning Edition host Renee Montange just mentioned "Hillary won MO" and then stopped dead mid sentence and someone else started talking.

Apparently they feel it's too close to call and the host slipped up.

It's a bit odd to listen to so far since there have been several of those mistakes.

It's not that complicated. Still, you always want to be the one leading when they go to absentees and provisionals.

(Datemarked absentee ballots means those date stamped by the deadline but not arrived yet. There aren't tens of thousands of absentee ballots out there, in other words, as most people send those in early).

She does well in absentees as a rule, so I expect that will work well for her, not sure how provisionals will fall

TBH, it's just about bragging rights. Whether HRC or SBS wins by a hair, they'll basically just split the pledged delegates.
