Republicans were targeting AB voters this election - straight from the ‘horse’s mouth’ ... a relative working for the Romney campaign in FL.

The early voting period was curtailed compared to the last election.
We saw a long line at the polling station down the road from us on Saturday. Went back Saturday evening and it was even longer.
I’ve voted the last several elections by absentee ballot, but will be voting on Tuesday this time.

Absentee balloting means that they might be voting elsewhere in person, if there are no checks on the practice.

One issue curtailing Florida early voting and causing long queues: The 2012 ballot is HUGE with twelve (12) ridiculously legalese laden constitutional amendments.

Voters take 20-60 minutes to complete the lengthy ballot. With limited polling sites during early voting, lines were incredibly long.

With absentee ballots, you can vote in the comfort of your home, at your leisure. I'm seriously considering an absentee ballot for future elections.

How many of those absentee voters are comfortably ensconced in their NY residences? Someday when someone gets the stats on these dual residences voting in both states it’s going to shock the masses.

Obama only got about 51% of the vote in Fla in 2008. Dems are admitting in Fla that they’re going to have to outperform 2008 in election day turnout to win this time. Chances seem slim and none for that to happen.
