At what time will CNN project a winner in the Indiana Primary on May 6th.

Settled as 90 minutes or more of polls closing

The Indiana win for Clinton was projected early in the morning (EST) on the 7th. Therefore it was after 90 minutes

Background:

The question is how many minutes after the last polls close will CNN project the winner in Indiana. I have done this to eliminate any time zone problems or issues.


Settlement details: As reported by CNN. Category Editor will have final say as to what time CNN called the race. We will use typical rounding for this question if CNN calls race at 14 minutes and 29 seconds that will round down to 14 minutes, if 14 minutes and 30 seconds then round up to 15 minutes.

Well CNN announces when they project a winner. Plus I am sure there will be plenty of settlement requests.
I spoke with category editor before publishing this question to verify this could be done.
