Florida Closes Polls on People in Line in Miami
/Steaming, hundreds of voters in line watch polls close on them. Some 300 people were still in line at Ronald Reagan High School in the Miami suburb of Doral when the polls closed. Hundreds more waited in other parts of Miami-Dade County, standing in lines for hours without restroom facilities, the Miami Herald reported. Some precincts in Broward County, to the north, halted voting when ballots ran out. Many voters gave up rather than weather six-hour lines. People who arrived at 6:30 at Miami-Dade election headquarters to pick up an absentee ballot could not get one before they were due in at 7, the Herald reported. The votes were crucial in a state where the difference between Obama and Romney was razor-thin. See the full story.
