You know what the scam is, having 2 election places in Ponte Vedra Beach, within 4 miles of each other, open for 2 weeks prior to the election, serving a population of 29,000 while people in the inner-city consisting of 5 million people need to wait in line for 8 hours to cast their single vote. There's a reason why people mail-in or drop-off their ballots. For the record, I walked up, voted, and got out in 3 minutes.

Open up a number of polling places based on the population could be a good 1st step to eliminating mail in or drop off voting.  

Also, the GOP were the ones that delayed opening votes until the polls were closed ... hence, the delay.

When did Duval county reach 5 million people? 

When I voted there in 2008, my last before moving to NC, I had no problem voting on election day in whatever polling location serviced Springfield, even though my address on my DL was for Riverside. There was hardly a line which surprised me because I thought everyone was going to crowd the place to vote for Obama.I

Also, in NC they don't start counting ballots until election day. Period. They count them up to the 12th of November as long as the post date is the 3rd. We have a lot of absentee ballots coming in from military folks stationed around the country and overseas. I think that's why they have the "count to the 12th" law in place.
