Florida Democrats file lawsuits over early voting

[Baitball Blogger]

ORLANDO — Florida Democrats are going to court to get several counties in the state to offer more time for voting before Election Day.

The Florida Democratic Party filed a federal lawsuit Sunday seeking more voting time in Palm Beach, Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Those counties were dealing with waits of up to six hours on Saturday, the last scheduled day of early voting.

The party has also filed a separate lawsuit Saturday in Orange County after an early voting site was shut down for several hours. The library was evacuated when a suspicious package was found outside

2. When this is all over

The citizens of Florida need to demand an explanation from the county Supervisors of Election as to why there weren't more early voting locations.

When the number of days to vote is cut nearly in half, then it only makes sense to double the number of polling places.

The anger is justified, but it needs to be directed at the people that are responsible.
