The Broward Republican Executive Committee released an open letter to
Brenda Snipes, the county’s Supervisor of Elections, claiming it’s
unfair that there aren’t any early voting sites in Republican State Sen.
Ellyn Bogdanoff’s district.
Republican State Rep. George
Moraitis doesn’t have an early voting location in his district either,
and although it would be a little tough to spread out the 16 early
voting spots in the districts to all 18 of Florida’s House members that
cover parts of Broward, the complaint still exists.
“Not having
early voting locations in this area serves to disenfranchise all voters
in this area, while especially disenfranchising the Republican voters,”
writes BREC chairman Richard DeNapoli.
More on the allegations here. Don’t expect the media or some anointed election protection attorney to come to the rescue. But what about the Florida Department of State? This is the type of unfairness that Republican majorities in the state House and Senate should review closely and consider additional changes to early voting requirements.
