Election 2012: Long Lines Started Early in Miami-Dade County (UPDATED)
The polls: an artistic interpretation by AHOLSNIFFSGLUE
Early voting this year brought long lines with waiting times previously unheard of — at popular polling places in Miami Beach and downtown Miami, lines stretched to nearly a workday’s length. Today, with all polling places open, and voters forced to vote at their assigned precincts, some lines look to be nearly as bad. Here’s a quick view of the scene around Miami-Dade County this morning.
