Sen. Miguel Diaz de la Portilla Changes Course, Introduces Bill to Expand Early Voting Hours

The Tallahassee Democrat reports thatSen. Miguel Diaz de la Portilla, R-Miami, one of the architects of the controversial 2011 electoral reform law that greatly reduced Florida's early voting period, has submitted a new piece of legislation reversing course, at least partially.

The proposed legislation would expand the maximum possible number of early voting hours each day from 12 to 14, and would allow early voting to take place the Sunday before Election Day.
