give you an idea. that's inside of the office this is the room where they are canvassing the ballots that have come in. and if you move here this is the room where they are actually feeding it. there are no problems to tell you about and there are several reports of ballots. that's an issue that was corrected quickly. i want to bring lattimore the supervisor of elections. this is going to be going quickly here. you will not have a long night. >> we hope not. we may have one, there are voters out there. and so we have an opportunity still a couple of hours left. >> reporter: are you getting an idea with the turn out, we're at 72% right now which is where we were in 2008.

mark. and there has been a lot of interest in the voters. >> reporter: the county has gone with the last four presidents elected. if there are any problems we'll bring it to you. >> thank you, dan. lloyd sowers is in hillsborough where a were reported. >> reporter: the scanners that you slide the ballots into, officials say several of those scanners got jammed. they say the ballots will be counted and it was a couple of precincts. >> voters here get national

hillsborough votes for the winners. it's on the i-4 corridor that you go democrat or republican so it is a battle ground. we meet a couple of people in a politically divided house. >> donald trump. >> unlike your wife, unlike my wife. we have a difference of opinion. i said have you voted? it's their our future, our country. >> she voted for clinton; he voted for trump. it should be an interesting election night. one more problem. fish hop ranch. slow voting. officials sent an additional scanner. if you're in line by 7:00 you will get to vote.

thank you, as the polls start to close, there are some key times you need to know about and battleground states to focus on. let's turn to craig patrick for that. this is what people need to watch out for. >> we'll start with right now. you have the pool in manhattan to release the first wave of data. it will show us who turned out indiana and kentucky. then 7 p.m. a wave of states coming in. when to keep an eye on is georgia. this is a state that seemed to be up for grabs. the polls closed at 7:00, that's a time to watch. it looks like trump is holding a slim lead. if it is early a good night.

some more drama later. you have to keep an eye on the state of virginia. this is another battleground state. 7 p.m. expect that trump will start with the early lead. they will come in before the dc suburbs. the polls have favored hillary clinton for weeks. we think it is liening to hillary clinton with kaine effect. and this is coming up just later. the key swing state of north carolina. this is one that the keys in at 7:30 p.m. after the first wave of states. this one was split. obama won it in 2008 by the skin of his teeth and then romney in 2012. this is one state that may tip the balance here that we're watching carefully. you have ohio the key time there again like north carolina, it is going to be 7:30, this is a

weather but the polls have favored donald trump and have for the past up to of weeks and the battleground state that's the state of florida. yes, the polls will close here at 7:00. but we have a couple of different time zones and close at 8 p.m. in the western panhandle. we will not have a call on the state for a while. democrats have the advantage. 90,000 more voted earlier we know more than half of the vote is in. it democrats and republicans but the independents. 22% that will decide which way florida goes. from there, more states will weigh in from east to west. what we see in the first what bh an idea of which way the race is going.

marco rubio. we'll go with evan axelbank and the marco rubio campaign in miami. >> reporter: i spoke with a senior member of marco rubio's campaign team. they say they believe that marco rubio is in very good position to continue in the senate. it was the democratic favor by a bit. they believe that that early vote will come around for marco rubio. many people here athe expecting a win. and over the last several months there are 53 polls done of the marco rubio-patrick murphy race. marco rubio has led in 48 of those polls. take a look. hoping to continue in the united states senate. he lost florida primary 8 months ago and was at odds with the nominee who he wound up supporting all be it holding his nose.

many were angry over donald trump and immigration. will that base hold for marco rubio here tonight. and will he get support from the die hard voters in florida. there was a big dust up and how that plays out. if he wins. how does he win. how much does he win we spoke with part of the history. i stand by everything. i never predenied this is an easy choice. the one thing i knew was no matter who the next president was it would be someone i had strong disagreements with. i wanted a senator that would stand up to the bad ideas of the next president even if they are from your own party. >> election nights are and some of the questions if hillary

republican in the race for the senate? florida does not have a history of splitting the ticket. that will be interesting here. he got back in in june. mitch mcconnell wanted to hold on to control. we'll see if he makes good on let's turn to aaron mesmer in palm beach gardens where patrick murphy will watch the results and he hopes that the people will go down the ticket. >> he is. >> reporter: optimism is what we're hearing. he is facing a battle, that's the case since marco rubio entered the race a little late.
