Re: Florida slow?
It appears the wait is over now anyway: Florida finally is called for Obama (final total 332 electoral votes)

Re: Florida slow?
Yes, almost always our national election is separate from local, but there are times they're at the same time. Nobody ever takes more than a day though.Mikey wrote:#1 - I have never heard of a justice/judge or a police officer being elected. Justices may have to undergo a retention vote, as Staplic mentioned, but I've never heard of a justice achieving her position through anything other than appointment. County sheriffs are often elected, but that's not the same as police.
#2 - @ Ian, if I read you correctly - often, there are local elections which are separate both in ballot and on the calendar from the national and state elections. While in this last election I voted both for federal positions and county/district positions, things like city council positions and school board positions are often voted on at other times during the year.
