 NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on campaign 2016 as voters in New York cast their ballots in the state's primary (all times Eastern Daylight Time): 
 
 9 p.m. 
 
 Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has won the primary in his home state of New York. 
 
 Trump was widely expected to beat his rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich in Tuesday's election. The precise allocation of delegates from the state won't be determined until the vote results are calculated by congressional district, but Trump is certain to extend his delegate lead and come closer to the 1,237 delegates required to clinch the party's nomination. 
 
 Early results of the exit poll in the state show a large majority of New York Republicans want the next president to be a political outsider. 
 
 As of Tuesday afternoon, Trump had amassed 756 delegates, while Cruz had 559 and Kasich had 144.

 Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is trying to move beyond a crushing defeat in New York, which he is dismissing as merely "a politician winning his home state." 
 
 Instead, he is pivoting with a sweeping call to unite the Republican Party by painting himself as the outsider able to capture the imagination of a party searching for leadership. 
 
 Already moving on to Pennsylvania, Cruz is saying: "This generation needs to answer a new set of questions. Can we? Should we? Will we?" 
 
 Cruz is comparing his candidacy to Ronald Reagan's and John F. Kennedy's, asking the Pennsylvania audience, "Are we still those people, those dreamers and doers?" 
 
 The Pennsylvania primary is April 26.

 Ohio Gov. John Kasich says he believes the Republican presidential primary will be "deadlocked" and delegates will choose their nominee at the party's convention in July. 
 
 Kasich spoke in Annapolis, Maryland, on the evening of the New York primary. Maryland holds its primary next Tuesday. 
 
 Kasich is predicting that neither Ted Cruz nor Donald Trump will win enough delegates to clinch the GOP nomination before the convention in Cleveland. He is pitching himself as a candidate with a positive and unifying message. 
 
 Former Maryland Gov. Robert Ehrlich attended the event. He says Kasich's resume "reflects what the country needs right now."

 Donald Trump will mark the results of the New York primary with a press conference in the Manhattan skyscraper he calls home. 
 
 Trump is expected to address the media Tuesday night sometime after polls close in his native state. He has held a commanding lead in all recent state polls. 
 
 The lobby of Trump Tower has been festooned with patriotic touches: a large American flag is hanging behind the podium from which Trump will speak and portions of the lobby are bathed in red, white and blue lights. 
 
 Unlike most other candidates, Trump usually eschews large election night rallies, instead choosing to address reporters and a small group of friends and supporters.

 New Mexico Gov. Susan Martinez is expressing fundamental differences with presidential candidate Donald Trump on his proposal to build a bigger wall along the southern U.S. border and make Mexico pay for it. 
 
 Martinez told the Associated Press on Tuesday that building fences can impact the U.S. economy and relationship with trading partners in Mexico and farther south. 
 
 The chairwoman of the Republican Governors Association confirmed comments made behind closed doors as she traveled last week to a Republican gala in New York City attended by Trump, and a Republican Governors Association fundraiser in Florida. 
 
 Martinez is frequently mentioned as a potential vice presidential pick. She says she understands the need for a secure border as a former prosecutor who has lived near the border for some 50 years.

 Hundreds of voters have complained to New York's attorney general about problems at polling places during the state's presidential primary. 
 
 Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's voter hotline received 562 phone calls and 140 emails by late afternoon Tuesday. That's compared to 150 complaints received during the 2012 general election. 
 
 A Schneiderman spokesman says this year's total number of election complaints is "by far" the most it's handled since Schneiderman took office in 2011. 
 
 The complaints include registration problems, a lack of privacy at the voting booth, accessibility and poor instructions from poll workers. 
 
 Schneiderman's office says it received many complaints from people complaining that they were not allowed to cast a primary ballot because they had not registered with a political party.

 Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is telling thousands of supporters at Penn State that his rival Hillary Clinton is "getting a little bit nervous" by his recent string of wins. 
 
 Sanders addressed the boisterous crowd in Pennsylvania Tuesday as New Yorkers voted in their state's crucial presidential primary. 
 
 Earlier, in an interview with The Associated Press, Sanders said he expects his campaign will "surprise" people and do "a lot better than people think." 
 
 He dismissed claims by the Clinton campaign that his path to victory is "close to impossible," saying "that's what people who are getting nervous will say."

 New Yorkers— Democrats and Republicans alike— are concerned about the economy. And many in both parties are worried about the influence of Wall Street. 
 
 Large majorities of voters in either primary Tuesday said they are concerned about the direction of the national economy, and voters on both sides were most likely choose it as the top issue facing the country, according to early results of exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and television networks by Edison Research. 
 
 About 6 in 10 Democrats regard Wall Street as detrimental to the U.S. economy, while 3 in 10 say the New York City financial sector helps. GOP voters were nearly even on the question.

 Former Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson's name remains on the ballot for the New York primary, although any delegates he receives will not count toward his suspended campaign. 
 
 Carson quit campaigning in March but missed the deadline to get his name off Tuesday's ballot in New York. Carson did however meet a very late but important deadline to have his votes not count toward delegate allocation calculations. 
 
 Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, was popular with evangelical conservatives early in the pre-primary campaign. But he failed to take off and quit the race shortly after the March 1 "Super Tuesday" primaries. He then endorsed New York billionaire Donald Trump, who is expected to do well in his home state primary. 
 
 Carson's failure to pull his name from the state ballot came too late for officials to get instructions to New York's county elections offices, according to state officials.

 Seven in 10 GOP voters heading to the polls in New York say that the candidate with the most votes in primary contests should be the Republican presidential nominee. 
 
 Conversely, just a quarter of those voting Tuesday say the delegates sent to the convention in Cleveland should decide, according to early results of exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and television networks by Edison Research. 
 
 So far, businessman Donald Trump is likely to go into the convention with the delegate lead over Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich. But the billionaire may not have enough delegates to win the nomination outright.

 As New York voters headed to the polls Tuesday, Democrats were more likely than Republicans to say they have been energized by the primary battles within their own parties. 
 
 Two-thirds of Democratic voters say the contest between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has been energizing for the party, while less than three in 10 consider it divisive, according to early results of exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and television networks by Edison Research. 
 
 But Republican voters hold the opposite view: Nearly six in 10 say their party has been divided by the heated nomination contest between billionaire Donald Trump, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Only four in 10 GOP voters say it has been energizing, exit polls show.

 Bernie Sanders' campaign says it's "deeply disturbed" by reports of long lines and voting issues in New York's presidential primary. 
 
 Karthik Ganapathy (CAR-thick Gana-path-ee) says "what's happening today is a disgrace" and there's a need to make it easier for people to vote, "not inventing arbitrary obstacles." He says Tuesday's "shameful demonstration" shows the "urgent importance of fixing voting laws across the country." 
 
 Polls show Sanders trailing Hillary Clinton entering Tuesday's primary. Clinton holds a lead in pledged delegates and Sanders hopes a strong showing in New York will help him cut into the former secretary of state's inside track for the Democratic nomination. 
 
 New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer announced late Tuesday that his office will commission an audit of the city's Board of Elections amid widespread reports of irregularities.

 Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is taking another crack at how he sees this summer's Republican presidential nominating convention playing out. 
 
 While he didn't mention Donald Trump or any other contender by name Tuesday, he wasn't exactly gushing with confidence over the front-runner or his rivals. 
 
 The Kentucky Republican — known for his astute political instincts — says he doesn't know how many ballots it will take for the delegates who gather in Cleveland, Ohio, to elect a GOP candidate. 
 
 "I hope...we will have a nominee who'll be appealing to the American people and could actually win the election," McConnell told reporters Tuesday. 
 
 McConnell has been publicly neutral in his party's presidential contest. But he's criticized some of Trump's comments and reportedly told senators privately this year that down-ballot Republicans could drop Trump "like a hot rock."

 U.S. Rep. Peter King says he will "take cyanide" if Ted Cruz wins the Republican presidential nomination. 
 
 The Republican congressman from New York made the comment Tuesday during an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." 
 
 King is the former chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee. 
 
 He told host Joe Scarborough: "I hate Ted Cruz." 
 
 Cruz's campaign did not immediately respond to a comment request. 
 
 King previously said that any New Yorker who thinks of voting for Cruz "should have their head examined." 
 
 King says he voted for John Kasich in the primary. 
 
 He has said many of his Long Island constituents support Donald Trump.

 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is flying in a jet with expired registration. 
 
 His airplane lost its registered status in January after failure to pay a $5 fee to the Federal Aviation Administration. The aircraft in violation is not Trump's Boeing 757, the renovated commercial jet that the billionaire sometimes uses as a backdrop for his rallies. Instead, it is a 1997 Cessna Citation X, a far smaller plane which Trump has used to visit smaller airports. 
 
 The FAA declined to comment beyond confirming the registration had expired. Trump campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks said "The standard renewal process is just about complete." 
 
 The New York Times, which first reported the expiration on Tuesday, said the registration lapse could ground the jet for days.

 The only one of Donald Trump's children able to vote for him in the New York presidential primary has cast his ballot in midtown Manhattan. 
 
 Donald Trump Jr. voted Tuesday for his father, saying it "felt great" to finally vote for his father to become the Republican nominee. 
 
 Two of Trump's other children, Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump, are unable to vote in the state's primary because they missed the registration deadline, and Trump's college-age daughter is registered in Pennsylvania. 
 
 Donald Trump Jr., the eldest of his siblings, laughed off the snafu, saying that "it'll be a big deal if we lose by two votes but that's not going to happen."

 Hillary Clinton is urging union workers to help her win "the kind of victory to build the future we all deserve" ahead of New York's presidential primary. 
 
 Clinton spoke in Washington to a meeting of the North America's Building Trades Unions Tuesday hours before her showdown with Democratic rival Bernie Sanders in New York. 
 
 She is urging those from New York to make sure they've voted and pointing to contests next week in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware and Maryland. 
 
 Clinton is pointing to the role that construction workers played in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in New York City. 
 
 She says if elected president she will keep in the Oval Office a cross that was made for her by an iron worker from scrap recovered from Ground Zero. 
 
 The union endorsed Clinton's campaign last December.

 Donald Trump has picked up 12 delegates after Ted Cruz's campaign says the Texas senator will not request a recount in the Missouri primary. 
 
 Trump won the March 15 primary by 1,965 votes. That is within the margin that would allow Cruz to request a recount. The 12 delegates are awarded to the statewide winner. 
 
 Missouri has a total of 52 delegates. The other 40 were awarded according to results in individual congressional districts. 
 
 Trump won 37 delegates in Missouri; Cruz won 15. 
 
 The AP delegate count heading into Tuesday's primary in New York: 
 
 Trump: 756. 
 
 Cruz: 559.

 Republican Donald Trump is acknowledging some bruised egos as he continues to overhaul his campaign at an unusually late stage of the game. 
 
 Trump said in a phone interview with "Fox & Friends" Tuesday that his recent hires, including a growing role for campaign veteran Paul Manafort, may not exactly be embraced by those who've been with him since the beginning. 
 
 He says in the interview that when new people come in, "some people, their feelings get a little bit hurt." 
 
 But he adds that, "frankly, you know, we're in a position where we'd like to see if we can close it out." 
 
 Trump announced last week that Rick Wiley, who previously managed Scott Walker's campaign, had been hired as national political director, overseeing the campaign's filed operations.

Crawls of supported "No More 404" sites. ||||| Donald Trump is the projected winner of the New York Republican primary and Hillary Clinton is the projected winner of the Democratic primary, according to exit polls and early returns. 
 
 The Associated Press called the race for the party front-runners after polls closed at 9 p.m. ET, with Trump’s projected win called almost immediately, and Clinton’s at 9:45 p.m. The victories help Trump and Clinton solidify their leads at a time when both are beginning to talk more about the general election. 
 
 Trump’s victory puts him closer to clinching the GOP nomination and should at least temporarily quell speculation that he will fall short of the votes needed before the July convention. 
 
 Clinton held a comfortable lead throughout the campaign and her victory makes it near-mathematically impossible for Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) to overtake her lead in the race for convention delegates. 
 
 “Today you proved once again, there’s no place like home,” Clinton told a raucous crowd of supporters gathered in Manhattan. 
 
 Nearby, at his Trump Tower, Trump greeted supporters in the lobby of his famed building flanked by his family. 
 
 “This has been an amazing week,” he said, noting that he is scheduled to campaign in Indiana, which votes next month, and will head to Pennsylvania in the coming days. 
 
 “We don’t have much of a race anymore based on what I’m seeing on television,” he added, gesturing to a nearby screen showing race results. 
 
 Polls had shown Clinton and Trump leading by double-digit margins in a state with a vastly diverse backdrop, stretching from the riches of Wall Street and suburban Westchester County to the struggles of industrial cities upstate like Watervliet and Watertown. 
 
 A big win for Trump brings him closer to securing an outright majority of Republican delegates — an outcome that remains in jeopardy and has prompted Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) to mount a spirited, methodical campaign to force a contested convention. 
 
 A Clinton victory provides momentum after a blitz of recent primary and caucus wins for Sanders. Unlike Trump, she is so far ahead in the delegate count that it would be nearly impossible for Sanders to catch her. 
 
 While the party front-runners spent much of the day in New York, Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich on the GOP side and Sanders in the Democratic race stumped for votes in Maryland and Pennsylvania, which will hold primaries next week.

 [6 things to watch in New York’s primary tonight] 
 
 Early exit poll results in New York showed that Trump was poised for a commanding victory thanks to a less conservative electorate that favors an outsider in the White House. 
 
 A clear majority of New York Republican voters — seven in ten — said the party should nominate the leading candidate regardless of whether they achieve an absolute majority of convention delegates, according to exit poll results reported by CNN. 
 
 Trump has struggled among the most conservative Republicans this year, but in his home state he won more than six in ten of both “very” and “somewhat” conservative voters, far more than his competitors Kasich and Cruz, who won less than three in ten conservative supporters each. While moderate and liberal Republicans have typically been one of Trump’s best groups, he split this group with Kasich about evenly in early exit poll data with just over 40 percent support for each. 
 
 Most GOP primary voters also said they want the next president to hail from outside the political establishment. If that figure holds, it would mark the highest level of support for a political outsider in Republican contests this year. 
 
 Among Democrats, non-white primary voters made up a larger share of this year’s electorate, and Clinton led Sanders by 67 to 33 points among this group in preliminary exit polls reported by CNN, but her margin was slightly smaller than previous contests this year, where she’s led by an average of 41 points. Among white voters, Sanders led Clinton by just two percentage points in preliminary data. 
 
 New York’s primary allowed only registered Democrats and Republicans to participate in the contest, and the exit polls suggest that requirement played strongly to Clinton’s benefit. Fully 83 percent of Democratic primary voters said they typically consider themselves Democrats, 10 points higher than the average so far this year and trailing only Mississippi. Clinton won self-identified Democrats by a 61 to 39 percent margin. Sanders won nearly three-quarters of independents, but they accounted for only 14 percent of the electorate, similar to 12 percent in 2008. 
 
 Tuesday’s vote signaled stronger unity among Democrats than Republicans. At least six in ten New York Democratic primary voters said they would definitely support either Clinton or Sanders as the party’s nominee, according to preliminary exit poll data reported by ABC News. But about half of Republicans said they would “definitely support” Trump, while roughly a quarter would support Cruz, and three in ten would support Kasich. 
 
 [Trump’s field director steps aside] 
 
 Trump spent the evening at Trump Tower in Manhattan, where he lives and works. While several hundred reporters gathered in the pink marble lobby for his appearance, guests dressed in cocktail attire took the escalator downstairs to a party in the building’s food court. 
 
 Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, told reporters that his team is already looking ahead to the burst of nominating contests next week in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Connecticut and Rhode Island. 
 
 “I think the Cruz campaign is going to be mathematically eliminated from the nomination a week from tonight,” Lewandowski said. “If the results go well tonight, he has to win 95 percent of the remaining delegates moving forward, which is almost an impossible task. I think it’s time to unite around Donald Trump, he’s the only person who can win the nomination, he’s the only person who can get the delegates, he’s the only one who can expand the map moving into the general election.” 
 
 When asked about the campaign’s sudden and dramatic restructuring, which has shifted power away from Lewandowski, the campaign manager replied: “We’re growing, baby.” 
 
 [Trump’s shift to more-seasoned staffers is a key inflection point for bid] 
 
 In New York City, the Board of Elections conceded that tens of thousands of Brooklyn voters had been purged from the voter rolls and residents complained about problems at polling sites across the city. Angered by the news, city officials announced plans to audit the agency and New York Mayor Bill be Blasio said he wanted the problems fixed in time for congressional primaries scheduled in June. 
 
 Despite the troubles, many New Yorkers celebrated their newfound relevance Tuesday, even if they have grown a bit weary of the barrage of ads on the airwaves in recent weeks. 
 
 “It’s nice. I feel like our vote usually doesn’t count,” said Sunita Ray, 41, who voted for Clinton in Midtown Manhattan. Still, she said she will not miss some aspects of the heated primary campaign. “The ads were a little annoying.” 
 
 [Clinton asks New Yorkers to make primary a referendum on Trump] 
 
 On Tuesday night, hundreds of upbeat Clinton supporters gathered in a Midtown Manhattan ballroom for her victory party. They danced to a live band and DJ as they waited for results to roll in. When news networks called the race for Clinton, the band played “Another One Bites the Dust” by the band Queen, and “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” by Stevie Wonder. 
 
 Aaron Leth, 30, has been a Clinton fan since he was a 6-year-old from Nebraska sending letters to the first lady in the White House. 
 
 “She’s gonna win. It’s her home territory, she knows it,” Leth said as he danced to the live band. 
 
 Throughout the campaign, Leth says he has seen Clinton become more relaxed and “rise to the occasion.” 
 
 “I feel like she’ stayed true to what she believes,” Leth said. 
 
 Leth said he thinks that the primary continues well into June for a reason, and that Sanders has every right to remain in the race: “The people are speaking.” 
 
 Clinton cast her own vote in Chappaqua in suburban New York, where supporters had waited outside with signs and buttons. She later flew to Washington to address the North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU) legislative conference before returning to New York City. 
 
 Sanders, who has been trailing throughout the contest, played down his prospects in New York, citing the state’s closed primary. 
 
 At a rally at Pennsylvania State University before the polls closed in New York, he told a crowd in a packed field house that he was going to do a lot better there than people thought, despite a number of obstacles. 
 
 “We’re going to do just fine tonight in New York,” Sanders told more than 6,600 people in State College, mostly college students, according to a figure supplied by the venue. 
 
 Angered by the closed primary, Sanders said New York officials need to “make some fundamental changes about how they do business.” 
 
 Sanders also said it was absurd that polls in upstate New York did not open until noon, a time that makes it impossible for some working-class voters to participate. 
 
 Like Sanders, Cruz braced for a loss in New York, polling behind not only Trump in recent surveys but also Kasich, whose only primary victory so far came in his home state. The loss came after a string of victories in Western states. 
 
 Campaigning in Philadelphia on Tuesday night, Cruz unveiled a new campaign stump speech, telling a crowd at the National Constitution Center that “this is the year of the outsider.” 
 
 “I am an outsider, Bernie Sanders is an outsider,” he added. “Both with the same diagnosis, but both with very different paths to healing. Millions of Americans have chosen one of these outsiders. Our campaigns don’t find our fuel in bundlers and special interests, but rather directly from the people.” 
 
 Cruz planned to meet Tuesday night with dozens of Republicans running to serve as national convention delegates at the Cleveland convention. On Wednesday, he is scheduled to campaign in Hershey, Pa. 
 
 Phillip and Johnson reported from New York and O’Keefe from Washington. John Wagner in State College, Pa., Sean Sullivan in Philadelphia, Jose A. Del Real in New York and Scott Clement, Juliet Eilperin and Anne Gearan in Washington contributed to this report.
– The least suspenseful part of the New York Republican primary is history: Donald Trump has won his home state over Ted Cruz and John Kasich in a rout, with the race called by CNN and AP as soon as polls closed at 9pm Eastern. Now the big question: How many of the state's 95 delegates up for grabs will he be able to win by night's end? Getting all or most would keep him in the running to secure the magic number of 1,237 ahead of the GOP convention. Delegates are doled out via congressional districts, and for a clean sweep, Trump would have to win 50% of the vote in each district. Early overall returns suggested he could well pull it off: He had 63% of the vote, followed by Kasich at 23% and Cruz at 14%. NBC and Fox are projecting a second-place finish for Kasich. In a speech to supporters, Trump thanked New Yorkers, "the people who know me best," for the landslide win. "We don't have much of a race anymore," he said of the overall GOP contest. He also credited his "evolving" campaign team, a nod to a recent high-level shakeup amid what the Washington Post calls "staff turmoil" and worries that his team wasn't organized enough about securing delegates. Next up: Contests in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Connecticut, and Rhode Island next week. (On the Democratic side Tuesday night, Hillary Clinton won her home state, too.)
