Florida voters not affected by recent Supreme Court ruling
I'm a bit confused by this news! VERY IMPORTANT!! "Vote-by-mail ballots must be at a supervisor of elections office by 7 p.m. on Election Day."
Snippet:
- Florida voters won't be affected by Monday's Supreme Court ruling on mail-in ballots. The court ruled 5-4 to uphold Mississippi's law that allows mail-in ballots to be counted as long as they are postmarked and received within five days of Election Day.
- Florida law only allows late ballots from voters who are overseas, and only if they are returned by mail, explained Paul Lux, supervisor of elections for Okaloosa County.
- "To be perfectly candid, in Florida, our laws have been very clear," said Paul Lux. "They are given an extra 10 days only in presidential preference primaries and general elections."
- Nothing will change in Florida as a result of the ruling, Lux said. Vote-by-mail ballots must be at a supervisor of elections office by 7 p.m. on Election Day.
