Good morning. It's Tuesday, March 29. After presidential candidate Donald Trump's rally at UCF, some students wanted more opportunities to discuss why Trump's support has reached such lofty levels. They started a discussion called "Let's Talk About Trump, Orlando." Eatonville Mayor Anthony Grant and two others have been indicted on felony voter-fraud charges that include coercing voters and submitting illegally obtained absentee ballots in the 2015 election.

And see photos of unconventional Florida homes. Here's what else is happening in Central Florida. Have a great day.
