Florida declares emergency, extends early voting hours


Imagine the internal struggle Crist must have gone thru over this decision. I mean, we know that he's not giving McCain 100%, but extending early voting hours is technically making sure there are more votes for Obama.

Gov. Charlie Crist on Tuesday extended early voting hours across Florida to 12 hours a day.

The executive order comes after record early voting turnout has contributed to long lines at polling sites.

Current Florida law allows for early voting to be conducted eight hours a day each weekday and for a total of eight hours during the weekends.

With Crist's order, early voting sites will be open the rest of this week from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. They will be open a total of 12 hours on Saturday and Sunday, the last day of early voting.
