ALL TIMES EASTERN
10:35 - BREAKING: Fox is reporting that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is going home and not to South Carolina as he will reportedly "take stock" of what tonight's results mean. He will not qualify for this Saturday's GOP debate as he will place sixth in New Hampshire tonight.
10:00 - GOP race for 3rd still very much up in the air. We are now at 47% of precincts in, and Cruz still in 3rd with 12% of the vote. Bush and Rubio are tied in percentage at 11%, and very close in raw votes.
9:10 - BREAKING: Fox is calling 2nd place in the New Hampshire GOP primary for Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Battle now for 3rd place, which is very competitive. With 24% of precincts in, Trump has 34% in 1st. Kasich has 15%, and he is followed by Cruz and Bush both with 12% and Rubio at 10%. Cruz is only ahead of Bush by 15 votes for that 3rd slot. Rubio is only out of the 3rd slot by 900 votes out of over 66,000 votes counted.
8:00 - BREAKING: Fox and CNN both call the New Hampshire primaries for Donald Trump on the Republican primary and Bernie Sanders on the Democrat side. Just a matter now of seeing by how much and how the others on the GOP side fall in place.
7:50 - Very early, with 2% of precincts reporting, and Trump is off to a big lead at this time, at 34%. He started though with over 40% of the vote as the first precincts reported. Spots two through six are seeing a major log jam, with Kasich at 15%, Bush at 11%, Cruz and Rubio both at 10% and Christie down at 9%.
7:25 - "Phenomenal" and record-breaking turnout being reported in today's primary. Some areas reporting over 60% turnout of registered voters! The traffic line to one polling station in the town of Merrimack, a town of over 25,000 in the south of the state, stretched up to 2 miles! The secretary of state's office and the attorney general's office in the state have ordered that the local moderator of the precinct can keep the polling place open "as long as she deems necessary".
6:10 - Personal prediction of the top 7 tonight.
1) Trump
2) Kasich
3) Rubio
4) Bush
5) Cruz
6) Christie
7) Fiornia
