Early Voting Hours Extended

BREAKING NEWS: Gov. Charlie Crist extends early voting hours.

BEHIND THE NEWS: The governor extended the hours after saying earlier that the law did not allow him to extend it. Later on, he signed an executive order to do so. Now you will be able to vote from 7:00am to 7:00pm on weekdays and a total of 12 hours on the weekend. The previous law allowed only for 8 hours of voting per day on the weekdays and only 8 hours total on the weekend. Nearly 2 million people have voted early accounting for 20% of the eligible voters in Florida. More than half have been Democrats. Don’t forget to vote !! Make you voice heard !!
