And now for some irregularities:
Hillsborough election officials are manually uploading the results of 38,000 out of 70,000 early voting ballots cast over the past three days because of an issue with the memory card that stored the information. The ballots were cast at the Jan Platt, West Tampa, South Shore, Temple Terrace and Town N' Country polling stations.
Officials, who discovered the problem earlier today, said it may take five to six hours more.

Robert Picket, from Dominion Voting Systems Inc., the company that manufactures the equipment, said the problem was discovered earlier today. He said the company was not not sure what the problem is.

"We decided the best thing to do was to run those ballots again," he said. A last-minute rush to the polls in about half of Hillsborough's precincts marked the end of Election Day.Election officials say about 20 percent of precincts had substantial lines, but in all, about half of Hillsborough precincts had long lines.
