Early Voting Ends, Disputes Continue

November 5, 2012 By Ken Tinkler

With the Governor taking no action on requests for an extension of early voting, the early voting process ended on Saturday evening (or Sunday morning, depending how long it took to allow every in line at closing time to vote at individual locations).  Absentee voting at election offices continued on Sunday (in Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, Hillsborough, Orange and Pinellas) and Monday, but ballots could no longer be mailed in and be certain to arrive by 7pm on Tuesday, so these voters need to deliver  their absentee ballots directly to the appropriate Supervisor of Elections office.

ABC/AP reports Early Voting was extended by a court order on Sunday in one location in Orange County because an early voting site had a temporary closure during the day on Saturday due to a security issue.  The Florida Democratic Party announced it had filed a federal lawsuit seeking to extend voting hours.  More from Politico, NYT, & the  Miami Herald,
