State of Florida Elections

The courts and legislators need to hurry up and finally get their act together. Florida’s elections clock is ticking down fast.
By state law, the results must be reported by congressional district, and the counties must do a ton of work to get things ready — things as basic as making sure that people know where they’re supposed to vote.
In a place as large as Palm Beach County, these preparations will be exceptionally complex.
There are 845 precincts in the county and “tens of thousands” of census blocs, says Susan Bucher, the county’s elections supervisor.
In most of the proposed maps now under consideration, no less than three of the congressional districts that cross the county, and possibly four, are likely to be in for major changes.
