The State of Florida is trying to make it easier to vote-by-mail in eight counties devastated by Hurricane Michael. Secretary of State Ken Detzner, the state’s top election official, said the changes are intended to help displaced voters in Bay, Calhoun, Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Jackson, Liberty and Washington counties, while also giving elections supervisors more time to conduct early voting. Governor Scott’s order also allows the counties to continue early voting through the November 6th elections, a move intended to help voters whose precinct locations may have been damaged by the storm.
