Voting in FL post hurricane

[vlyons]

FL devastation post hurricane will surely throw a monkey wrench into voting in Nov. In those areas most affected, probably very few polling places, people who lost their IDs, fewer poll workers.

1. Way to think ahead!

Let's hope that elections officials in FL are doing the same.

2. Florida has done this year after year after year.

They will be fine and get whatever needs completed. Voting will still happen. I don’t think there’s ever been a time where we didn’t vote on the day we were supposed to. People have their Drivers licenses in the dryer. Floridians are pretty strong willed community. They’ll buckle down and get done what they’re supposed to. Yes we’ve had hurricanes in other areas of the country where the population broke down and didn’t know what to do and waited for instruction. Floridians are definitely not like that.

3. The counties most affected (Collier, Lee, Sarasota) are Republican strongholds.

Ron will make sure they'll have the opportunity to vote for him. Had it been Miami-Dade and Broward counties, it would be a different story.

4. Florida voting.

Ever since moved here from Georgia I stay amazed with the positive dealing with Mail in ballots for all elections here. Sarasota is always sharp. Not likely to have problems in this area.

The election workers have been awesomely legitimate for me in my "official" independent status.

6. Hardest hit area is a GOP enclave

I would never wish them ill will however

7. Hurricane Harvey caused lots of voters to be displaced (Texas)

In Texas, you must be registered in the county in which you reside in order to vote.
