investigators thought he might have been a fake cop, but news 6 has learned he was really an off-duty trooper. our reporter is asking why there was no record he pulled anyone over. >> reporter: all day i've been trying to get results and get to the bottom of how an f.h.p. trooper could be mistaken for a fake cop. what i found out is that f.h.p. policy says troopers don't have to call every traffic stop in. so when clermont police came here to console a woman crying after getting pulled over, they had no way of telling if that person was real or fake. >> it's a little bit shocking. >> reporter: though she didn't want to go on camera, jessica jones tells news 6 she was scared when she was pulled over by a person she thought could be a fake cop saturday night. today she's just surprised it was a real trooper the whole time. >> i couldn't remember his name, even if he did say it, i don't remember his name or, you know, basically i couldn't give you a hint what county he was working

officer. >> reporter: jones said the traffic stop seemed legit until the officer said this. >> "i think i've seen you around the neighborhood. you're probably a few houses down from where you live." that's when i thought, okay, anybody could say that. >> reporter: afterwards, clermont police were called out to calm jones down. the trooper in the unmarked car never called it in. f.h.p. says he didn't have to. troop. there's no way we could call in every traffic stop and be able to conduct enough business throughout that radio. >> i've done stories that are in this case law enforcement says if you feel suspicious of someone pulling you over, call 911 and verify it. >> absolutely. >> reporter: but if he never called it in, why didn't she -- how could she have called it in? >> how many stories have you done where an officer was in

>> reporter: all clermont police had to do was call to see if they were involved. clermont police say they did. the problem is they had no record that a traffic stop ever happened. >> lisa: we have breaking news in orange county over last night's election. news 6 has confirmed 1400 poll workers did not get paid. instead, their checks bounced. the supervisor of elections' office blames a payroll company for the mishap. right now, the supervisor is there hand-signing replacement checks. news 6 reporter eric sandoval is there and he'll have a follow-up report tonight at 11:00. news of the bounced checks comes as we're asking questions about another election mishap. >> lisa: we were there yesterday when polling places ran out of ballots and people were turned away. news 6 reporter troy campbell is getting answers. >> reporter: the supervisor of elections says the wrong number

how many it affected, it's unknown. he said unknowingly, when ballots were delivered about a dozen polling locations did not receive the right amount. news 6 was there as these voters were turned away in apopka. so we're asking questions. did we know all along the right number, and then when it's an excel spreadsheet, that's where the error happened. it's something we had the wrong number all along? >> no. >> reporter: he says before 10 a.m., several polling locations contacted county officials and said they've run out of ballots, when the county went into overdrive, printing and delivering more forms. the county offered to personally deliver a ballot to any voter turned away. he says no one took them up on the offer. >> about 100 calls, saying is that practical, come to us right now in an election? >> again our goal yesterday was to make sure every voter got a chance to vote and we were going to do everything we could to make sure they cast their ballot.

to the secretary of state to extend polling times for locations that ran out of ballots. >> there was so much dialogue going on, it was not like the request was made at the last minute. >> reporter: the supervisor of elections also says he hopes to have a solid number on just how many people were turned away from their polling location, within a couple of days. >> ginger: one day after florida picked donald trump as the republican winner in the primary, governor rick scott is handing the billionaire his endorsement. the governor says voters want a washington outsider. scott is also calling on party leaders to end what he calls the republican on republican violence over trump's candidacy. trump thanked the governor over twitter. last thursday at the republican debate in miami, i asked governor rick scott about endorsing a candidate. you can tell he was leaning toward trump by his answer. >> i'm not going to endorse

i'm going to leave it to the voters. if you remember my race in 2002, i was a businessperson, an outsider, never having run for office. everybody endorsed my opponent and many people called for me to get out of the race. i'm going to trust in the voters. i trusted in them then and i trust in them today. >> ginger: you can look for a county by county breakdown on tuesday's results by going to the election tab on clickorlando.com, powered by news 6. >> julie: tonight the fire marshal is on the scene of an iconic beach front mansion that burned to the ground in cocoa beach. erik von ancken is there as investigators try to figure out why it burned. >> reporter: fire investigators were back out here at first light and they've been here all day long. still, though, they say it's going to take weeks to complete their investigation because the property is so huge. pictures from the real estate website zillo show how big the beach front mansion was.

history and the renovation, what now? >> it makes the future uncertain for those of us who live, of course, right across the street. >> reporter: fire investigators say as part of that investigation, they're talking to the new owner to see exactly what was happening here in the days leading up to last night. in cocoa beach, erik von ancken, news 6. >> julie: firefighters had to shut down atlantic avenue in front of the mansion most of the day because of putting water on the house. the road just reopened in the last few hours. >> lisa: if you like the warm weather, today was the day for you. >> ginger: right there. once again, we flirted with record temperatures. while it looks like a beautiful evening as the sun sets in daytona beach, because it is gorgeous out there, we have to ask if there's any relief as far as rain on the way. chief meteorologist tom sorrells is pinpointing your forecast for us tonight. >> tom: your wish is my command. we'll get you rain shortly, i promise you. we truly will. >> ginger: okay. >> tom: we're tracking a smoke

we're actually in a drought. >> julie: so we asked meteorologist candace campos. >> candace: although we've had our fair share of brushfires across central florida this year, it's not because of our drought situation. we've had a lot of people calling the newsroom and asking us on facebook how the drought situation is here in central florida? we're not in a drought. most of central, southern and even the panhandle is looking good to go after a not very wet season but still above average when it comes to our rainfall. we've been clocking the numbers here, really giving you the best amount of data we have throughout the winter season, including december, january and even february. you can see that the average rain totals we're above average, both in orlando, deltona and even in melbourne beach. we should be good to go heading into the wet season, including spring and, of course, our summer months.
