Hillsborough County -- non presidential election one reason why results were a little slow coming and is generally Steve Sanders joins us now live from the supervisor of elections office in Hillsborough county and to tell us more about that.

How. -- chat lines of 40% had a significant lives. But the real -- to about why this election hasn't been put to bed earlier tonight was a problem with computers.

Hillsborough County technical glitch results delayed a familiar theme in the past four years a repeat performance this Election Day. Whenever you vote. That vote is automatic tabulated. And to a computer system to check if you will. We're having problems getting information from that ship. So what's going on in there to serve me and they're meant to be re scanning the news as a result supervisor of elections personnel were forced to scanned into computers at -- service center. The 38000 -- that would not -- properly why didn't they upload technicians say problems with memory cards. The governor responsible for making sure things went off without a hitch. -- know what we're doing is using the actual physical ballot itself sensing the votes are cast on there -- more open to a website as soon as we get them. -- really trying to to delay the process anymore than what areas like 10 PM most of the county's precincts have reported. And more than 43% of Hillsborough registered voters cast their ballots in a series of expensive and bitter elections.

Now at this point all but 101000 of those early votes have been counted. What went wrong what those memory cards are telling us they don't know. What they do know is at this point is those 101000 votes -- makes very little difference in any race. Back to all right Steve thank you.
