When I get around to getting dressed, will go out and check some of the early voting locations. The 8:23am report from elections shows Coral Reef Library with a 4 hour wait. All the rest of the locations are better, some not much better. New wait times should be posted any minute. The 9:26 report: Wait time has improved in all precincts. 10:30, Aventura is at 4 hours and 15 minutes. Shortest wait is City of Miami and North Shore Library at 7501 Collins. 11:15 - Wait times have improved at most sites. North Dade Regional Library is the worst at 3 hours 30 minutes.
On election day, I think the Elections Department should plan to bring in a new shift of workers at the polling places around 5 pm. To process all those who are in line by 7 pm, many polling places will be working to 2am, 3am, or 4am in the morning. They also should plan for problems. Based on early voting, they know all of the problems that can emerge. They should list them all, along with how they plan to deal with them if they emerge on election day. You have to plan for it so things will go smoothly.
Election day is going to be light I suspect. A big precinct is 3,000 voters, mine has almost that many. I would bet that almost 2,000 would have voted by election day. 161,968 have already voted early and 167,232 have voted absentee...that is a big chunk of people. We have about 1,281,368 registered voters.
I just spent 2 1/2 hours voting at the Miami Lakes Library...the line moves pretty steady, lots of staff and equipment on site.
Election Day voting will still be busy, but the line should be much, much shorter. Another 4-5 hundred thousand voters will be voting Election Day at the 700+ precincts.
I just wanted to vote early in case life got busy on Tuesday...this election is too important to miss!
Yes, all kinds of contingencies might emerge on election day. Rain, family issues, job issues, transportation problems, you name it, it would be an impediment. Even if something comes up at the time you wanted to go to early voting, you still have more chances and time to vote. On election day, you have no chance. It is election day or nothing. The republicans want you to wait until election day, because they know many won't show. Not because they did not want to vote, it is just that there were things they could not control, and they couldn't make it. Early voting and absentee voting insures no matter what happens on election day, you have voted. So, with that in mind, let's squeeze as many Democrats as possible in the last early voting push, and let the republicans take their chance on election day voting.
Well, at 6:50 pm all polling places had long 3-2 hour wait times. The only exception was FL City with a 1 hour wait time. For tomorrow, plan to get there early, cause they will be there late tommorrow night. Immediately after that, election day gaming begins.

Southdade is already longer than other days
Wait until election day when there will be 900 precincts open for business. No waiting.

Do they provide absentee and early voting data by precinct?
