Early voting comes to a close this Saturday in Florida and many voters statewide have been frustrated with the lengthy lines.
Miami-Dade has one-point-three million registered voters. But there are only 20 early voting locations in the state's most populous county. That figures out to be 64,000 voters per early voting site. Even with the voting sites being open for eight days, many voters are still not pleased with the length of the voting lines.
First-time voter Juan Lanfranco, says he decided to vote early instead of on Election Day to save time, but the plan backfired, and he ended up at the Kendall location.
"The first location that I went to the line was also big. So, I thought this one might be shorter”, Lanfranco said. “They're similar."
Early voter Cristina Loreto shares her concern about long waits. She said, "I feel like it's gonna be packed by November 6, and I just want to make sure that my vote is in on time."
In comparison to the number of registered voters to available voting locations, Miami-Dade County is only the 4th worst.
Lee County has the largest number of people per voting site. The county on Florida's west coast has roughly 78,000 registered voters for each of its 5 early voting locations.
Broward County comes in 2nd place, and Orange County follows in 3rd.
Early voting ends for Florida at 7 p.m. Saturday.
