Related: About this forumObama is going to win but it sounds the lack of voting booths will cost the President the state of
Florida according to some duer reports, because voters are getting discouraged and are going home. Am I wrong?

But Scott refuses to extend it. So I am not sure what can be done at this point.

(1,134 posts)your statement except some 'duer reports'. Really going to have to do better than that.

(332 posts)in Tampa, St. Pete, Lauderdale and Miami are experiencing long lines. Also, in Palm County there is a dispute over a couple thousand of votes that may have been miscounted and in Palm County absentee ballots are not reaching the requestors.

(1,134 posts)Something keeps me hopeful about Florida, and I don't know why. I'm just holding on to this slight hope that democrats show up BIG for the President and vote.

(7,010 posts)election day. Even though the President doesn't need Florida the down tickets need the votes and you cannot allow republicons to win. Next time vote absentee, but do not mail in the ballots drop them off to your county registrars.

(15,265 posts)...couldn't that screw more Republicans if the election day lines are just as long as the early voting line, when more Republicans are trying to vote, with lots of Democratic votes have already been cached?
As I understand it, one big thing that's slowing down the Florida vote is a ridiculously long multi-page ballot. That ballot's not going to get any shorter on election day.

(1,574 posts)And it's obvious. They have had years to iron out all of the kinks of the process in that state but have refused to do so. In cutting back early voting they intentionally made it worse.

(609 posts)If Dems clog the booths early on Tuesday and fill those long forms, Repugs will get delayed. let them pay for their own folly

(233 posts)the old NC 4 corner offense and play slow down. Hold the ball and run out the clock on them. Get a couple of hundred voters to line up well before the polls open and then see how long each of you can take to vote.
