Laurel Lee

With election day now over and around 11 million ballots cast, Florida Secretary of State Laurel Lee says the election went smoothly.

With millions of votes already cast in the November general election, Secretary of State Laurel Lee late Tuesday asked the Florida Supreme Court to reject a last-minute attempt to kill a proposed constitutional amendment that would overhaul the state’s primary-election system.

He estimated that, even with Tuesday’s hours-long extension, far fewer Floridians applied to vote on the online system than should have, when compared to registrations in the run-up to the deadline in 2018.

The online registration system has a history of meltdowns in the run-up to voter-registration deadlines.

More than 4 million adults will receive postcards directing them to the state’s online voter registration portal. Secretary of State Laurel Lee is overseeing the effort, which relies on data from the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
