To make voting MORE difficult the Govenor of Florida asked the AG of Florida to cut back the hours in which early voting will be available.
The AG and voting assitence commissioner have now cut the hours one can vote.

They cut the weekend hours from 8 hours down to four with the option of trading hours between Sat and Sun to not exceed 8 hours total for the 2 days.
Weekdays are cut from 12 hours to 6 hours.
The polls will now open at 10AM (the hour in which most people will already be at work.

The longest waiting time in line in Florida early voting is reported as 5 hours on a weekday. Mostly old people were pleading in the Florida heat for chairs or stools to help their wiat in line to no avail.


How would the Florida officials comment on early voting...

"The Florida early voting convienience is moving along with great deliberate expediency and employing fresh new time schedules to assure all those who wish to vote , can."


AND WHY DOES IT SEEM THE VOTING OFFICIALS AND VOLUNTEERS OVERWHELINGLY REPUBLICAN?

the DNC needs to get on top of the "volunteer poll workds" and officials.
