Florida Dems File Suit to Extend Early Voting 
----------------------------------------------


 
In Florida, Democrats filed a lawsuit on Sunday seeking to force
Republican Gov. Rick Scott to extend early voting. Scott and the
Republican state legislature reduced early-voting last year and now
voters are seeing waits of more than six hours at the polls. On Sunday,
a judge ordered Florida to extend early voting in Orange County after an
alleged bomb threat forced the closure of a polling station for several
hours.
