as the ninja burglar numbers, the next jackpot could be $90 million. now, new york's number one news. channel 7 eyewitness news. 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

the polls and the race have been tightening up. you can see hillary clinton with 59% of the vote. donald trump easily meeting john kasich, ted cruz, 14% perhaps getting all 95 gop delegates we don't know that for sure, but it sure seems like that. tonight we're 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 didn't 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, didn't happen instead a huge win for her. a moment at 9:45 when she was declared the winner by the

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 primary states, there was real 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, you've always, always had my back. and i've 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.

until june 7th when california and new jersey vote on that day, reporting live in midtown, channel 7 eyewitness news. speaking of bernie sanders the senator dismissing claims from clinton campaign, tonight spoke at penn state university before the polls closed here in new york. >> now, i don't 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

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 suffered in the weeks coming 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. >> we're close to 70% and we're going to end at a very high level and get a lot more delegates than anybody projected even in their wildest imagination. senator cruz is just about mathematically eliminated.

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, he says that's his territory. that's where he thinks he'll really make an impact and put the republican presidential process to bed. we're 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 corruption. votes are slowly coming in from nassau county, the republican is currently leading on long island's 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

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. i don't trust this election right now, i don't trust the outcome. >> annie and her daughter kayla both registered republicans recorded this exchange with workers who apparently didn't 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 today's 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

clean up this mess. i think this is one of a series of things we've seen with the board of elections that suggests we'll need bigger reforms controlled by state law. according to board of elections director michael 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 that's for sure. as for what tonight means for the delegate count, for more results come in for each county

houses in brooklyn in 2014, and rookie cop peter liang accidentally shired a shot that gurley killing him. act. >> the direct said many wanted liang held responsible for other police shootings. we have to take each case on its own merritts we can't look at other states, we can't 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. in brooklyn, channel 7 eyewitness news. new at 11:00, an arrest of
