Leading Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s name was left off Florida primary ballots according to reports relayed by Fox News’ Jennifer Eckhart on Twitter who said the local Fox affiliate has received “dozens of complaints.”
Eckhart wrote the irregularities are in “Jupiter County” which does not exist. She probably meant the town of Jupiter or Palm Beach County where Jupiter is located. Palm Beach County is where Trump’s Florida base Mar-a-Lago is located.

You don't know any of that which to me sounds pretty shameful that you would put that out there like that. Just sayin.
Rubio’s surprise!
Finally , she got permission from the county to do a provisional ballot and she had to jump through hoops. Poll worker said there were MANY MANY of them the same way.
I just voted in Palm Beach county, and the lady behind me got turned away for being registered as independent. She was told there was nothing that could be done to switch for today's primary... I heard the whole conversation clearly.
If that’s the case, there should be no republican names on the ballot.
I'm an old southern boy and I remember back in the 50's that they would tell the illiterate negros (that is what they were called back then by MOST of us) that they should just look for the donkey and vote across the line for them. That is a fact.
West Palm or Martin county,idiot central.
Or the ones Allen West “lost?”
Just wait til they have to look for hanging chads...
Right they were talking about how they just voted for Trump Screw Rubio....
Leading Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s name was left off Florida primary ballots according to reports relayed by Fox News...
Fox News? I thought we weren't believing Fox News these days.
Uncertain if ‘Independents’ even have a primary not to mention their own ballots. In Texas we’ve open elections and it is not necessary to register a certain party.
Perhaps in Florida, one must register with the party they support. All known about Florida is what might have been learned and retained during the fiasco Bush/Gore.
IN TEXAS:
Stand in line at same exact poll and merge left for D; merge right for R. Two different areas in which all parties are able to participate Independents are not recognized as such on voter registration and like all other (R/D) Can vote in all primaries but must make a choice of ONE (1) vote whatever party is chosen.
Perhaps a FRiend living in Florida and knows the rules and current situation will give US an answer to the questions which will come forward.
GO TRUMP!!!
My daughter lives in Florida and knew she couldn’t vote today because she’s registered as independent.
However, if the poll workers type up the lists wrong, then that is a way to cheat the vote. I’m not sure in a primary how they would know whose name to leave off.
My guess would be a numbers game, that they would simply cut so many names in counties that do poll well for Trump.
A provisional ballot is the answer, but then you have to prove your history. That would be a pain.
"Dozen's" of complaints? Really?Yes! Dozens of third-hand accounts.
In non-existent Jupiter County.
Where's my fainting couch?
I live in Texas and I just got a robo call from Ted Cruz asking for a donation so that he could continue his campaign. No way ! I support Trump.
It’s a closed primary, there are probably a lot of low-info first-time Trump voters that are getting surprised by this. The early high poll numbers for Trump are based on “likely voters,” not “likely Republican voters.”
The last two polls show Rubio 9 behind and 6 behind. In Florida there is always the question of whether Hispanics are being well-sampled, and unlike the rest of the nation, Hispanics in Florida are heavily Republican (they are true freedom-lovers).
Add in the fact that in most cases Trump’s actual numbers run a bit below his polling, and there is an outside possibility for a big surprise,
I wouldn’t jump to conclusions. Gateway Pundit is not a bastion of credibility right now.
There are some states, where any independent with enough signatures can get on the ballot, but of course, the “Independents” are too dumb and uncommitted to actually organize a real party, so it’s just a “beauty contest” to see who’s the biggest midget.
