Suicidal Squirrel Slows Early Voting
Animal Jumps On Power Line, Falls To Ground
Elections officials say early voting was slowed - but not stopped - at the library on Thursday. Voters were still able to cast their ballots by flashlight.
Officials say a squirrel leaped from a tree onto a power line, causing a fire that tripped an electrical switch, knocking out a power line feeding a section of Vero Beach.

The dead squirrel was found lying on the ground.
Early voting continued as usual after power was restored. It was out for about an hour and a half.
