According to the Miami Herald, Miami-Dade’s county election supervisor, Christina White, closed down the line for absentee ballots at its Doral office because the lines were too long.



Shortly before the temporary shutdown an hour earlier, the department had said it would not be able to accommodate more than the around 180 voters who were in line by 2 p.m. Then the office shut its doors, and people in line started shouting, “Let us vote!”

Some voters who had parked in a lot across the street saw their cars getting towed.

When it opened its doors, the department had only one ballot-printing machine, five voting booths and two staffers to assist voters. The office said it was overwhelmed by voters. “We had the best of intentions to provide this service today,” White had said. “We just can’t accommodate it to the degree that we would like to.”

Mary Cooney, a department spokeswoman, told The Miami Herald early Sunday afternoon that the department will try to accommodate voters who show up at a Lauderhill satellite office located at 1501 NW 40th Ave. (N. State Rd. 7/441). They will have to wait, however, behind around 100 voters who had called before Sunday to set up an appointment to pick up and fill out absentee ballots in person.

“This is America, not a third-world country,” said Myrna Peralta, who waited in line with her 4-year-old grandson for nearly two hours before being turned away. “They should have been prepared.” “My beautiful Sunshine State,” she lamented. “They’re not letting people vote.”

Then voter's cars began to get towed.The Herald reports Miami-Dade thought just a few people would show up to vote:Voters who made "appointments" to vote will vote before those who did not make an "appointment."It's hard to know if anyone in line has switched their vote to Democrat due to the obvious Republican voter suppression -- but people in line were pissed.I cannot believe they were actually towing voter's car -- what a bunch of shit! Ya know, I have never heard Romney or Ryan denounce the GOP efforts to suppress voting rights in both Ohio and Florida.
