Florida Election Officials: Trump's Name Not Left Off Ballot

The statement came after reports began to surface that voters received ballots that did not include the GOP candidate.

Florida, which is a closed-primary state, allows only voters who are registered Republicans to get a ballot listing Trump and the other GOP candidates.
