Obama Finished Indiana 1 Point Behind, Not 2
CNN has updated the Indiana totals, and it's basically 99.99% complete.
A minor irritation, but still ... because CNN (and also The New York Times, among others) insists on rounding the percentages to 51% versus 49%, you don't get an accurate picture of the margin of victory.
If you do the math, you'll see that Hillary got 50.55% of the vote, and Obama took 49.44%, so the margin was actually 1 percentage point, not 2.
