Hammond, Ind., Mayor Tom McDermott, a supporter of Hillary Clinton, tells CNN that he and other officials in neighboring cities counted and turning in their votes to Lake County elections officials shortly after polls closed at 7:30 p.m. Clinton won Hammond by 600-plus votes, McDermott said, and at least a handful of other cities and townships in the county.

It’s 11:07 p.m., and the only results from Lake County are about 28,000 votes from the City of Gary, where Obama beat Clinton three to one.

John King asks why Lake County officials would open themselves up to criticism—likely unfounded criticism—by not releasing election returns as they come in.

McDermott said he didn’t know what was going on.

Neither do we!
