Decision day in new york. Hillary clinton and donald trump both huge winners tonight. But the voting process not without big problems some purged from the system, an investigation and over haul. Good evening. An important night on the road to the white house, Democrat Hillary Clinton easily beating Bernie Sanders tonight the polls and the race have been tightening up. You can see Hillary Clinton with 59 of the vote. John kasich, ted cruz, 14 perhaps getting all 95 gop delegates we dont know that for sure, but it sure seems like that. Tonight were with the Trump Campaign and dave evans where clinton spoke in the last half hour, david. Bill, i thought that Hillary Clinton would probably win this primary, but i didnt think she was going to win by this much. Bernie sanders needed an upset to change the trajectory, by about 200, 220. He needed an upset, didnt happen instead a huge win for her. A moment at 9 45 when she was declared the winner by the networks, lets listen in. There was such a sense of relief and excitement in this crowd because there was real worry as to whether Hillary Clinton was going to be able to pull this off. Sanders has won 8 of the last 9 worry as to whether she could stop this momentum and whether she could win in her adopted home state of new york, tonight, she did. New yorkers, youve always, always had my back. And ive always trialed to have yours. Today, together, we did it again and i am deeply, deeply grateful. Even before tonight Bernie Sanders needed to win 56 of all the delegates between now and june 7th. The task made more difficult by how well Hillary Clinton did in new york tonight. But he has vowed to fight on until june 7th when california and new jersey vote on that day, reporting live in midtown, channel 7 eyewitness news. Speaking of Bernie Sanders from clinton campaign, tonight spoke at Penn State University before the polls closed here in new york. Now, i dont want you to tell anybody this, so keep it, shh. But secretary clinton is getting a little bit nervous. After speaking there sanders boarded a plane back to his home state of vermont, heading back to campaigning in pennsylvania on thursday. To the republicans a big win as we say for donald trump tonight, huge as he would say trump defeating john kasich and ted cruz enough perhaps to get all 95 gop delegates this was 59 of the vote. Mr. Trump. A significant win, mr. Trump spoke to reporters in midtown you saw it right here on eyewitness news, sandra was there for us tonight, sandra. Liz, and bell it was as you said a very good night for donald trump. When you consider that string of losses to ted cruz that he into the new york primary, he needed to win big in his home territory and he did. Now as he gave his victory speech tonight, mr. Trump of course thanked new yorkers for their support. He also continued to rail against the delegate system. Once again calling it rigged. He also, i would say, relished the idea of dealing of possible knock out blow to ted cruz. Were close to 70 and were going to end at a very high level and get a lot more delegates than anybody imagination. Mathematically eliminated. Now, mr. Trump said hed only celebrate for about 2 more hours tonight, then go to bed and back up tomorrow morning head first to indiana then to pennsylvania. He says these coming states are states with a lot of problems, thats where he thinks hell really make an impact and put the republican president ial process to bed. Were live tonight in midtown, channel 7, eyewitness news. Big night there sandra thank you. To the results of two special elections in new york, voters choosing replacements for state lawmakers convicted of corruption. Votes are slowly coming in from nassau county, the republican is currently leading on long islands ninth district race to replace dean a republican and has been elected in Lower Manhattan to replace sheldon silver, a democrat. All sorts of voting problems, tonight calls for an investigation and even an over haul. The biggest problem, 126,000 registered voters some how expunged from the rolls, how many actually were prevented from voting . Here is rob nelson. Right now, i dont trust the outcome. Annie and her daughter kayla both registered republicans recorded this exchange with workers who apparently didnt even know that both democrats and republicans were allowed to vote today. It is strictly the democrat primary today, just democrats . I have no idea. This is just a snapshot of the pit balls that city Officials Say plague todays election. Scott stringer says he will now audit the board of elections. The next president of the United States could very easily be decided tonight and yet, the incompetence of the board elections puts a cloud of these results and it is time that we clean up this mess. I think this is one of a series of things weve seen with the board of elections that suggests well need bigger reforms controlled by state law. According to board of ryan, 126,000 voters over all were purged from the rolls in brooklyn, 47,000 declared inactive should have been given an affidavit so the vote could be counted today. 70,000 previously declared inactive and warned they could not vote in this primary. I want to clear up the misconception that there are mass problems throughout the city. The over whelm overwhelming majority, had a positive experience. Rob nelson, channel 7 eyewitness news. Story not over thats for sure. As for what tonight means for the delegate count, for more results come in for each county for the latest results well post on our website abc7ny.

Well turn to the other news, a man was shot and a gun in front of officers in downtown brooklyn, happened at the house as police say when officers stopped a man for a warrant that mans friend pulled a gun from his waistband. Three officers open fire shooting him in the hand both men were arrested. Strong reaction tonight some of the it angry to a judge throwing out the jurys manslaughter conviction against peter liang and lowering the charge to negligent homicide. Given probation not prison for the deadly shooting of a Housing Project in brooklyn. Here is jim dollen. The crowd outside because divided. Peterlyage liang is a convicted felon, saying the shooting always treated People Fairly with respect. The shot was accidental. I apologize then the judge threw out the manslaughter conviction which a jury decided in february insteaddeclared the cop guilty of lesser charge criminally negligent homicide. Im just confused on what happened, what made the charges be reduced . Decision led to clashes between protesters and police, a radio reporter got shoved to the ground before order was restored, shot and killed in the stairwell in the pink houses in brooklyn in 2014, and rookie cop peter liang accidentally shired a shot that ricochet off a shot and hit gurley killing him. The direct said many wanted liang held responsible for other police shootings. We have to take each case on its own merritts we cant look at other states, we cant look at other instances involving Police Officers and civilians. Liang was sentenced to 800 hours of Community Service and five years probation, both sides are appealing this case. Liang because he believes he should have been exonerated and the District Attorney because he believe it is jury decision of manslaughter should have been up held.
