There were some problems out there today. Reporter yeah, matt. Some voters in Orange County went to their precincts and were told they couldnt vote, turned away today because they ran out of ballots. Turns out it was a computer glitch and they printed the wrong number of democratic and republican ballots. Election Officials Say they didnt realize the problem until this morning. About a dozen precincts were affected. They didnt have enough Party Ballots at those locations where voters were also voting in a local election. New ballots and hand delivering them to the precincts. The problem causing long lines and frustrated voters. Many saying they had commitments and may not be able to get back to their polling place to vote today. The supervisor of elections saying this to those upset voters. Were extremely disappointed that happened to them, but at this point we believe we had backups and procedures in place to rectify it and i think were now ahead of the game, and ballots are in the polling places. Reporter Orange County asked the state to extend voting hours to 8 00 tonight because of the ballot problems. We just heard back from election officials. The state deciding not to extend the voting hours. It means all the polls are closed. They even had to open up the Elections Office on election day to take in voters. Now its just a matter of waiting for the results to start trickling in. Matt Amanda Castro live for us. Thank you. Delegates could make or break the hopes of republicans wanting to be president. Right now, donald trump remains the frontrunner. Erik von ancken is live at trumps mara largo club in palm beach.

Donald trump himself is expected to speak here a little over two hours from now. The chairs are empty, but to my are not. Media here from all over the place, all over the world. They know how big a night this is, likely could be based on the polling for donald trump and whats going to happen as we start to get the results in here in palm beach. That podium is set up for a speech. Donald trump says it will be a victory speech here at 9 00.

If rubio does not win florida, it could be all over for him. News 6 reporter Eric Sandoval is live in miami tonight with the Rubio Campaign. Matt eric, youve been saying this event is much smaller than some of the other ones youve covered, right . Reporter absolutely, matt. Were down here in miami covering rubios florida kickoff event, here. That was huge, compared to this event tonight. University. Were at the athletic arena. This is the same place that the Miss Universe pageant was held. Were not in the arena, this is just the lobby of the arena. A University Official this afternoon told me the Rubio Campaign didnt want to spend the extra money to get inside the media. So you can see the media is flanked along the concession stand back there and packed like sardines along the risers. Were expecting marco rubio to take to the stage somewhere around 9, 9 30. Once we get a good sense of where the voting numbers are, hes been sending out tweets and emails and posting on facebook all day today, urging people to get to the polls to cast their votes for marco rubio. Cry was heard or not as the vote numbers come in. Were live at f. I. U. In miami tonight, news 6. Matt the lobby of the arena, not the actual arena. Thank you for clarifying that up regarding the marco Rubio Campaign. Matt now, ted cruz is not even in the sunshine state. Hell be watching the returns from texas. Well have a live report there during our second halfhour. Lisa and democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton is also going to be waiting for returns. Matt news 6 reporter louis bolden is live with the Clinton Campaign tonight. Reporter Hillary Clinton is not expected to take the stage until 9 00, according to her campaign. But it did not stop her supporters from lining up more than an hour and a half ago waiting to see her. Theyre anxious to see her. As you can see, we have pretty the secret service sweep of the grand ballroom at the Palm Beach CountyConvention Center took longer than expected and resulted in long lines at the security checkpoint, but there were no problems to report. Hillary clinton has been busy today. The democratic frontrunner was in North Carolina earlier, greeting voters and talking about her economic plan. Then she made it to West Palm Beach where she surprised some voters at a dunkin donuts, of all places. Most places show her with a substantial lead over Bernie Sanders in florida heading into the primary election. Her supporters say its because they believe shes a straight shooter. If the question was asked, she always answers with facts. She doesnt just say, oh, yeah, well, when i become president , then ill get everything working. She honestly knows whats going be with her. Reporter again, she has plenty of supporters here. Shes still not expected to take the stage until a little less than two hours from now. I can tell you a little while ago they flashed the numbers on the screen behind me, showing Hillary Clinton is in the lead and there was quite the roar from the crowd. Well stay on top of this. Back to you. Matt louis bolden live from the Clinton Campaign in West Palm Beach, just down the road from where donald trump is expected to be tonight. Lisa and as for clintons rival, vermont senator Bernie Sanders was in illinois this morning and expected to be in phoenix, arizona tonight for a rally there. Matt the results are coming in for live states. Lots of delegates up for grabs right now. Lisa the biggest prize for both parties is florida. Breaking down the results county by county, news 6 investigator Mike Deforest joins us live from the newsroom. The polls just closed nine minutes ago now. Have any results come in yet . We were a little excited when the board came to light with the very first results coming in from south florida from desoto county. As we zoom in right now, were looking at the democratic race. Right now, Hillary Clinton edging out Bernie Sanders 50 to 40 . This is a little more than 500 votes cast. I dont even think a. 1 of the precincts are reporting yet. This is extremely early. This is the first little bit of data sent out throughout the state. But nonetheless, you can see Hillary Clinton is leading Bernie Sanders in desoto county. Well see how it all shakes out in the sunshine state. Lisa still a long way to go tonight. Interesting that we have at least 500 votes to look at so far. Well take it. Matt glad to see the software working tonight. Lisa yeah, thank you. Results for you, beyond just the numbers tonight, too. Lisa we have a talented team of analysts to put all of the results in perspective. Theyll be joining news 6 anchor ginger gadsden, live in the newsroom tonight. Ginger i am live with one of our political analysts, jim clark. Hes familiar to everyone in Central Florida because the guy pretty much knows everything. So hes joining us tonight. Were already talking about the anomalies were already seeing here in florida. The one surprise is the story of marco rubio. I think so. Heres a giant killer. A man elected speaker of the house in an upset. Six years ago, he beat the incumbent governor for United States senate. Tonight were seeing if he could even get a third of the vote in his own party. Its been a spectacular career for this relatively young man. Ginger very young, yeah. And yet it may be coming to an end tonight, right here. Pretty lonely candidate right now . He has not had the endorsements. The governor is bending over to support donald trump, in fact. He did not get the Party Leadership endorsement. Everybody has been quiet. He got a number of people in south florida that he knows and works with. He got former senator mel martinez, but by and large, his biggest hitter was the governor of south carolina, not the governor of florida. Ginger nikki haley, exactly. Do you think the governor of florida, do you think well see some endorsement coming from governor rick scott . I think hes come as close as he wants to. I think hes going to wait. I think governor rick scott sees himself as a viable Vice President ial nominee. I think he wants to position himself that way. Its going to be interesting. Primary, it doesnt help donald trump a lot. Im not sure how good that will do. Ginger youll be here with us tonight until we have the final tallies, so dont leave us. Great. Ginger social media is huge in this race. Our Julie Broughton is the point person on that this evening. Whats going on . Julie so much going on. Hello to you, i havent seen you in about 15 years. So nice to see you. Of course, facebook, lots of conversation on facebook. One very cool thing we have going on is some exclusive facebook data, tracking conversations over the last month about the elections. We have some graphics to show you. Ill kind of explain what youre looking at as we take a closer look at the graphics. The information has been tracked from about february 12th to march 13th. So what youre looking at there, again, this is data over the last month or so, which facebook has been tracking a couple of different things. Issues discussed by floridians on facebook and the number of people in florida discussing certain candidates. So also the number of interactions, likes, posts, shares, about a particular candidate. This is what youre looking at again. Donald trump, more than 2. 6 Million People discussing him and the second number is the amount of times articles have been liked and shared. Again, this is an interesting graphic as well. The top issues concerning floridians, no. 1, cuba, followed by immigration, security, israel, and government. One thing thats important to stress here is that this is not meant to be predictive. Its meant to show what the conversation is and what people in florida are talking about. As well. Well continue to track all of this for you as we head through the rest of the evening. Well be here talking about this all evening. Ginger its really cool to have those numbers from facebook. No one else will have those its really eyeopening when you put it in those perspectives. Julie so many interesting perspectives. And so many are tracking what donald trump has been talking about. Ginger thank you both. Back in the studio with lisa and matt. Lisa very interesting. A ton of data to go over tonight and a lot of interesting analysis. Of course, it will be debated for days, it not weeks, here in florida. Matt were going to continue with our election coverage. But first, a shocking incident at a local daycare. Why the girls mom wants the daycare to be held accountable. Lisa and weve seen dry air and very little rain. Firefighters worked to put out flames at sites all over Central Florida today. Matt but first, a bizarre gun and ended before contemplating the many choices on steak n shakes 4 dollar menu, one must calm the mind in our zen garden. Focus. Steakburger meal. Reflect. The taco salad meal. Zen the original double n cheese steakburger meal. Oh the 4 menu. Where all meals are under 4. Matt glad to have you back with us here on news 6 at 7 00. Lisa well bring you more Campaign Results in just a moment. Theyre always on the ticker at the bottom of the screen. Matt now to a strange story in Orange County. A violent Home Invasion turns kidnapping turns then into a lisa it ended with a car crash. It started early this morning at the homes in woods mere subdivision. Two men were coming home with a girl and found five masked men inside their house. They led Winter Garden police on a short chase that ended in a crash. While police were tending to the driver the suspects hit, they got away. Two of the five suspects also took off in a bmw. That car was found, but again the suspects got away. If you have any information, youre asked to call police. Matt well, tonight child abuse charges filed against a daycare teacher and a local mom says she wants the daycare to be held accountable for not reporting her daughters abuse. She said, you know, mama, im scared. I said why are you scared . She said because one of the teachers pops my biscuits when i have accidents in my pants. Noahs ark daycare spanked the 3yearold giving her potty training issues. The mother ended up filing the report. Reported it directly to d. C. F. They had all the information that very day and came out the next day. So they are conducting their investigation. Weve talked to them. Weve opened our doors to them. Weve opened our parents to them. We have nothing to hide. Matt police say the teacher, 56yearold Kimberly Banta is facing a charge of child abuse. She was fired from another center years ago for not following daycare rules, but shes still employed at the daycare. Our warm, dry weather means the danger of brushfires is on the rise.

This one opposed to danger to any of the students and it is out at this point. Lisa weve been covering a lot of brushfires now for the past couple of weeks now. We could use some rain. Its not going to happen in at least the next 24 to 48 hours. Tom give us 48, maybe by this time thursday. The fires as ugly as they were, it gave me something to track for a while. Matt thats all there was on the radar. Tom thats all i had to do today. Check out whats happening on radar. Not much. The story begins with visible satellite. The cloud cover is leaving us in Central Florida. Not a lot happening. We had cloud cover earlier but the visible satellite is fading. There is moisture in the gulf of mexico that will come our way.
