Disputes over Early Voting Hours Continue

November 2, 2012 By Ken Tinkler

With Florida’s early voting process set to end on Saturday evening, the ongoing dispute over the changes to early voting passed by the Florida Legislature in 2011 continues.  In 2008, the Florida Governor extended early voting hours due to concerns about turnout.  Requests have been made for the current Governor to take the same action, but that appears to be unlikely.  Here are some current news reports:

  • With big turnout, Democrats urge governor to extend early voting days through Sunday
  • Gov. Rick Scott won’t extend early voting through Sunday
  • Florida Dems ask Scott to extend early voting
  • League of Women Voters of Florida letter to Governor Rick Scott
