NEWSCAST: Lawsuit Over South Florida Voting Resolved

SaraSue

The federal lawsuit filed Sunday morning by the Florida Democratic Party over early voting was resolved late Monday afternoon.
 
It stemmed in part from the long delays on the last official day of early voting in South Florida and that was technically on Saturday.
 
The emergency 
  
  lawsuit was aimed at the supervisors of elections for Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties.
 
The legal point is whether people could vote absentee in person -- and the long waits were preventing that.
 
The judge has ruled voters can as long as those absentee ballots are returned no later than 7:00PM Tuesday when the polls close.
