how is long lines in FL counties where voting is controlled by democrats and where those standing in the long lines are democrats somehow voter suppression by the right?
The democratic controlled county doesn't set the times for early voting...Who is the governor of Florida? You and I both know...The dems just won a case because Florida didn't want to extend voting hours over the weekend but yet and still you think the Dems are cheating?
"The first election-related federal lawsuit has already been filed in South Florida, where some citizens waited over seven hours to vote early over the weekend. In an area that includes Palm Beach, Miami-Dade and Broward County -- yes, that Broward County -- Florida Democrats scrambled to extend early voting hours over the weekend citing "inadequate polling facilities" in a complaint filed in a Miami federal court on Sunday. "The extraordinarily long lines deterred or prevented voters from waiting to vote," says the lawsuit. "Some voters left the polling sites upon learning of the expected wait, and others refused to line up altogether. These long lines and extreme delays unduly and unjustifiably burdened the right to vote." These three counties are home to 32 percent of the state's Democrats.
Can anyone explain what the heck is wrong with Florida when it comes to election time?
They have too many stupid people that file lawsuits if they actually have to stand in line. Now, if FL could only get rid of stupid people. Then they wouldn't be a swing state, they'd be solidly R.
No one is stopping them from voting tomorrow. Nor did anyone stop them from voting once they were in line, heck some polling places stayed open until 1 am to accommodate all the voters that got in line by 7pm. I'll be voting tomorrow, if I have to stand in line a few hours, I'll stand in line. I believe my right and obligation to vote is worth a few hours of my time. I always bring a book. The last few years my iPhone has sufficiently entertained me while in line. I bring a bottle of water and people will hold your place in line for you to run to the potty. It's all good.
It makes more sense to wait for seven hours to vote...if need be than clutter up and make a situation overly complex with a damned law suit...no one benefits from these types of actions..they just make things worse- How is a suit going to speed up the process?

Voting across the entire state is controlled by the Republican Governor, Rick Scott. Local precincts have ZERO control over when they're allowed to be open for voting. Zero. Get your facts straight.
