Quote:Voters in Apopka said they were turned away Tuesday morning because their polling places ran out of Republican ballots.
The polling places are located at Errol Estate and World of Life Church in Apopka, where long lines were visible.
Residents voting at Errol Estates told News 6 that more ballots were retrieved about an hour later, but some voters had to leave because of other commitments.
Quote:Meanwhile, technical issues plagued several Orange County polling locations on Tuesday, prompting officials to use backup paper registries to enroll voters in the Florida presidential primary, according to elections officials.
Orange County Supervisor of Elections Bill Cowles said technicians were sent to the locations to fix the issue, described as a connectivity problem.
Colwes said the problem caused delays, but no voters had to be turned away.

Either the Florida results are wrong or the networks are clueless (maybe both). On the Democratic side, Hillary has a 350K vote lead with 2/3rds of the vote counted. Even if Sanders won every additional vote, he would lose.
ETA - actually I just remembered some polls in Florida don't close until 8 (7 pm central). They'll wait until then to call both races.

I seriously thought to pull the lever for Cruz; however, I think his likeability would be his downfall in the general election.
big difference when you're the leader of the country vs a legislator or senator....
reagan was the last one of the former.....and he had experience as governor .....was Ike was the last real one....
see the trend that others see?
Agree. With Jeb gone early, they embraced the establishment senator with scant experience over someone who actually ran something.

trump should have this one playing tonight as he walks to the podium tonight with a white flag displaying "RNC"
Kasich winning big in Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati. Trump doing better in North Carolina than Cruz probably would like to see. Clinton winning big in all three early states. I wonder if Spring Break is hurting Sanders in the other states too? I guess students don't know how early voting works.
