Concealed weapon and having a weapon under a disability. We also did ask the rep from the board of elections here today if he could remember anything similar to this happening in recent memory to a polling worker and he said he could not. Live in cleveland, dani carlson, cleveland 19. This story had us curious, what qualifications do you have to have to work the polls in Cuyahoga County. Workers make 172 to 200 for the day. We checked out the poll worker application on the board of elections web site. To get hired you have to be at least 17yearsold and not be a convicted felon. You could run as a candidate in the election you are working. In cleveland they are still voting at mary beth unischool and classes were closed because of vandals. Smashing windows and spray and thieves stole several lcd projectors and they spent the day cleaning up the mess. Remember theres been confusion about the republican ballot based on the way it was printed up. And the party deciding to do a winner take all type of situation here. In the past this is the way it looked. You would have atlarge delegates and vote for one republican candidate there and you have the district delegates. And it is the same list of republican candidates there. What we found interesting because it is going to be winner take all, it will be this atlarge section, the top section. Whoever wins this for the republicans will win all 66 delegates. Earlier, i spoke with secretary of state john houston at almost 3 00. I asked him dont you expect the head republicans in the state who said whoever you vote for up top should vote for down low. Will come up different and he fully expects that to be a Different Number and he himself heard of people who voted on the top choice and top category and maybe the second candidate in the second category. Again, the republicans in the state said they would only take the winner of the top section, the delegates at large. It will still be interesting to see how numbers differ from top catherine . Cathrine we want to clear up confusion for people with absentee ballots. If you didnt get the ballot in today. Denise zarrella is live with that now, denise . Reporter thats a great question. If you didnt get a chance to have the absentee ballot out in the mail, dont worry. You can get the absentee ballot in the mail and it can still be counted or go to the polling a provisional ballot. Thats what one veteran we reporter in the village of walton hills a large percentage of the population are seniors and they make sure they vote. We have a good 10 to 15 voting by absentee. I like to vote by mail for convenience. Reporter when your ballot doesnt make it to the board of elections it can throw a wrench in the process. Thats what happened to santini. His wife mailed in both ballots at once. Mine didnt get in. Bernie sent a card in the mail saying please return your absentee ballots. I called the board of elections and they said my ballot wasnt in. Thats about the second of march. By the time the second ballot arrived it was too late. This ballot they sent it. It was supposed to be here on friday past friday. They didnt get here until yesterdays mail. Elections says you must return your absentee ballot to the board of elections by the day of the election. It is not clear why santinis ballot arrived late. It can be prevented i didnt leave the comfort of my home but it was my civic duty to get out here and cast my ballot. Santini also is a veteran. It feels good. Every day you get get out of bed and standing on our soil that you are in u. S. A. So again, john santini could have taken the absentee ballot down to the board of elections by 7 30 and had it counted and came to the polling location and cast a provisional ballot and the polls are open until 7 30 tonight. If you have the absentee ballot you need to get it to the board of elections by 7 30. Reporter denise zarrella, cleveland 19. Thank you.

The latest polls trump and kasich are neck and neck in ohio. I was at a trump rally yesterday in youngstown where trump personally attacked kasich calling him an absentee governor saying he is traveling all over the country and not here in ohio and kasich has taken the high road trying to run a positive campaign.

He shelled out 500 get trumps i seen on the morning shows people were getting tattoos on the east coast and i liked the idea. Wow. He went to trumps rally in youngstown and got a chance to show off his permanent commitment to it. Not who i am and not supporting it. What happens if that guy doesnt win. What happens if he changes his mind all together. We were laughing. He had a chipped tooth. Not sure if the tattoo artist was having fun there. A mole in the guys skin and changes the look of trumps skin. Campaign 2016 coming up next we will go live to ryan nobles cathrine well tonight of course could be a Pivotal Moment for several candidates in the race for president as four other states cast their ballots. Dan ryan nobles is live with a breakdown of what to expect tonight. Ryan. Dan, we have been talking about this for so long. Finally ohioans get a chance to weigh in on race for president. By all accounts this is a unique day and first time in 2016 we have two candidates whos names are on the ballots in the home states. Of course your Governor John Kasich and marco rubio in florida and stakes for both men are incredibly high. It could mean a win that road. Reporter for marco rubio and a special one. It is special because both men get a chance to cast a ballot for themselves in their home states. Along with that honor comes the pressure to win. Feel great. We will win. The urgency could be seen and heard in rubios final rally, a homecoming event in west miami and the sound system malfunctioned and a candidate was forced to give his speech in the back of a pick up yelling into a bull horn. I will never be able to express enough gratitude for the support this community has given me. Reporter polls show a win for rubio would be a major upset and john kasich is within striking distance and a win would inject new life into his campaign. If he pulls it off, donald trump is expected to proclaim victory in most of the states tuesday and Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are talking about the g. O. P. Frontrunner more and more on the campaign trail. Tomorrow that can send a strong message that love trumps hate. Reporter clinton is poised to win the most states tuesday and sanders could keep the overall vote and pledge the delegate count across the board meaning it will be difficult for the former secretary of state to lock up the nomination soon. Reporter a Pivotal Moment and for millions cast ballots a powerful voice and latest stage in the race for president. A lot of that power in ohio today and lets not forget about ted cruz. He may not win a state tonight but the three states will award delegates proportionally on the delegate side f. He keeps it close with the delegate count with donald trump means he will be the closest competitor and it moves on after tonight. Endorsed donald trump and recently had interesting things to say about the candidate. Can you tell us about that, ryan . Reporter interesting is a good way to describe it. Not what you expect from someone who wholeheartedly courses someone for president and didnt want to endorse donald trump and felt he had to and trump offered him a position in his administration and didnt specify what that was and subsequently, even if donald trump were to mess things up it would be four years and not something to concern ourselves all that much. Bernie sanders has been somebody difficult to predict from the start of this campaign. After seeing him stand there with donald trump and endorse him, you expect him to be more passionate about support going forward. What would shock you seeing trump win iowa and florida or kasich winning ohio and rubio what would shock you more there. I think the biggest shock would be marco rubio winning florida especially being here a week and he lost a lot of momentum and from the tone of his voice and being reflective about his race for president. It seems it is probably a lost cause at this point. I would not be shocked if john kasich wins ohio and i believe the momentum is on his side and particularly, you see the race with polls showing him ahead or behind by a couple of points. If he doesnt have the best ground game in ohio he is doing something wrong being elected governor there. If you rank them in order of shock marco rubio win in florida would shock me the most and donald trump winning ohio and florida shocking me second most and john kasich losing in ohio. That would shock me the least. I think i said this right. I like the analysis. We will talk to you again tomorrow. Aside from the president ial primaries, a big race we are watching at home today. The Cuyahoga County prosecutors race. Tim mcginty is challenged and they have been in the spotlight for the controversial tamir rice and Michael Brelo cases.
