I still don't get WHY there are long lines. Seriously. Maybe people ought to be more considerate of those whom the early voting is intended to help.
The Florida ballot is 3 (legal) pages long this year. There are 11 constitutional ammendments that take about 20 minutes just to read let alone comprehend. I studied the issues and took a cheat sheet in with my choices on the ammendments just to make it go faster, but it still took me 10 minutes to complete the ballot.
Of course HuffPo spins it as voter suppression of Democratic votes and it's all some Republican's fault. I'm sure there were Republicans and Independents that got caught up in the mess as well as Democrats.
