In Florida, Gov. Rick Scott (R) reduced the number of early voting days from 14 to 8.
One of the articles I read said that in a few places in Florida they closed the line and by the time everyone in it got to vote it was 1am which was hours past the deadline.

It will be interesting to see if they try to challenge those votes cast after the deadline.
