Still waiting to hear when voting will start. Scott has generously opted to extend voting. It's a republican stronghold and he doesn't want to lose those votes. I have no doubt the reason restoration has been as fast as it has is due to the upcoming election.

Does early voting not start there the same time as everywhere else because of the hurricane?

Polling places have been obliterated. Power is still not back on. Still under a curfew. The best description I've heard so far was from a friend who said "I'm good but my neighborhood looks like a scene from Saving Private Ryan." I'm definitely one of the lucky ones. House and car are damage free.
