Democrats want early voting extended
From the wires:
Nine Florida Democrats — including U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson and Rep. Corrine Brown — are asking Gov. Charlie Crist and Secretary of State Kurt Browning to extend early voting in the state and take steps to reduce long waits at the polls.
The letter sent Thursday asked for early voting to be extended in every county through Election Day, Nov. 4. In addition, the letter outlines requests to train additional poll workers, provide more voting equipment and enhance technology.
U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney, who is embroiled in an adultery scandal, was the only Democrat in the Florida Congressional Delegation who did not sign the letter.

I’m a little confused on this early vote extension. Does that mean the early voting “currently” will not be available every business day between now and Nov. 4th. If so, when is the last day?
