It seems to me if you want to vote early, and not absentee, you plan to be there in time? I would expect poll workers want to get to their homes also.
No one should be intimidated from voting; on this we can all agree. But I'm not sympathetic to people who can't plan ahead then get upset because things don't go their way. Perhaps that's not the case here, but it's hard to tell.

She was there three hours and five minutes BEFORE voting closed. The election official LIED to her and told her that the polls closed at four. A friend of mine (who lives in Florida) mentioned earlier this week that the polls were extended to seven AND that if you were in line by then you would still get to vote. I think that rule is specifically for times when there are super long lines (some people have waited upwards of 3 hours already), but whether it's busy or not, the rule still applies.

BOTH Lies ~ If you go to a booth before it closes, whether it be five minutes before or 1 minute before...as long as you are in line, you have a RIGHT to vote. Also, ALL polling centers close at 7PM in Florida. Govenor Christ extended times for early voting.
