Judge Orders Extended Early Voting In Florida

the gov cut early voting time in half from what it was. florida's two predecessor governor's felt it was a moral responsibility to make sure every citizen had the opportunity to vote. but the more people who vote, the more it benefits democrats. so gov teatard tried to make sure that voting would be so inconvenient a lot of people wouldn't bother.

that's what the suit was about.

and given that they won, the suit was a good idea.

no doubt they'll appeal.

No he didn't. he cut the days but the 96 hours remained.

um...no, willow. he purposely said they couldn't vote sunday.

you understand that one of the reasons the GOP left charlie crist hanging out to dry was because he believed everyone should vote... gov teatard wasn't going to make the same mistake.

The majority of Florida voters will have access to the maximum possible hours of 96, spread over eight straight 12-hour days.
The majority of voters will have access to the maximum possible hours of 96, spread over eight straight 12-hour days. That’s because supervisors of elections in all large counties chose that schedule, seeking to maximize turnout and reduce chances of long lines on Election Day and confusion from the change in early voting days.

The Legislature last year reduced the number of days from 14 to eight, ending on a Saturday three days before the Nov. 6 election. The state had required 96 hours of early voting but the law was changed to allow at least 48 hours and a maximum of 96, while eliminating early voting on the last Sunday before Election Day.

Plenty of time.

BTW...

Gov. Rick Scott’s administration spent a year and nearly $500,000 in legal fees successfully defending the shorter eight-day schedule from lawsuits by the Justice Department and advocacy groups that claimed it was a Republican plot to suppress voter turnout.
