FL: Crist campaign files motion to extend voting hours
Crist campaign files motion to extend voting hours
10 News Staff, WTSP 6:56 p.m. EST November 4, 2014
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida -- The Crist for Governor campaign is filing an emergency motion with the Circuit Court for the 17th
Judicial Circuit to extend voting hours in Broward County from 7pm to 9pm. The campaign is doing so due to several individual and systemic breakdowns that made it difficult for voters to cast regular ballots:
- The polling station located at the Croissant Park Elementary School was offline for over an hour and a half this morning – this caused major delays and impacted voters looking to cast a ballot before work.
- EVID malfunctions in precincts throughout the county caused confusion among voters who were unable to update their address at polling precincts. Those voters were bounced between local precincts and SOE headquarters – ultimately, the system did not register them and they were unable to cast regular ballots.
- The delay and confusion caused by those EVID malfunctions compounded county-wide confusion related to recent re-precincting. We have reports in many cases that voters who were confused about their proper polling location were provided conflicting information and, in many cases, simply gave up attempting to cast a regular ballot.
You can view the motion here.
A similar request was made to the Broward County Supervisor of Elections, who denied it.
