2016 GOP Primary Madness, Elite Eight Results

The Elite Eight of our 2016 GOP Primary Madness has come to a close, and here are the results (with links for state-by-state details on the voting):

Division 'A'

1. Scott Walker (66%) vs. 2. Marco Rubio (34%)

Division 'B'

2. Ted Cruz (67%) vs. 4. Ben Carson (33%)

Division 'C'

4. John Kasich (41%) vs. 7. Jan Brewer (59%)

Division 'D'

1. Sarah Palin (36%) vs. 2. Rand Paul (64%)

7-seed Jan Brewer once again defeated a higher-ranked opponent, this time 4-seed Ohio Governor John Kasich (59%-41%). 567 votes were cast in that matchup, all states except DE, MT, and WY. 622 votes were cast in Division A, with 641 in Division B -- both had votes from every state except DE and WY.

Division D has the greatest amount of votes cast, at 931, from every state except Wyoming. As with the previous round, several pro-Sarah Palin and pro-Rand Paul sites got involved. I received some emails from individuals in both camps, complaining of "voter fraud" by the other side. The settings on the polls I use restrict voting to one-vote-per-IP-address; however, "where there's a will, there's a way", and if someone is determined enough to try, they usually can find a way around the "rules". That said, this is an unscientific poll done for fun, so just relax.

'Final Four' voting will start shortly.
