[0:00] here in Chicago. But because Senator

[0:02] Clinton in the later returns narrowed

[0:04] that gap that allowed her to protect

[0:06] that statewide lead, it is only there

[0:08] about 23,000 votes. But it is 51 to 49%

[0:12] with 99% and Senator Clinton holding on

[0:15] narrowly as the dramatic count

[0:17] >> 65 45 in in yeah he he needed at least a

[0:21] 65 or 70% margin in Lake County in order

[0:25] to win to overcome that uh what uh that

[0:27] that that small margin that we see right

[0:30] there what about 23,000 votes enough for

[0:33] Hillary Clinton to go on and carry the

[0:35] state although we have to remind our

[0:59] split much of it based on the statewide

[1:01] vote, then based on the vote in the

[1:02] congressional districts. The

[1:04] congressional districts, there's one

[1:05] right here in Indianapolis. That would

[1:06] be Barack Obama. There's another one

[1:08] anchored right up here. most likely

[1:10] Barack Obama's because of his win in

[1:11] Southbend. There's another one over

[1:13] here, Barack Obama. But the other

[1:15] congressional districts out here,

[1:17] advantage Clinton. So roughly when you

[1:19] get a vote this close based on the

[1:21] Democratic rules, you can in most
