Experts predict that on Election Day for the U.S. midterm elections on November 5, problems will arise again in two Florida regions that faced long lines and issues with voting machines during the 2000 presidential election and this year's primary elections. Miami-Dade and Broward officials say that a shortage of voting machines will lead to long lines and voter fatigue. To address this issue, officials have set up early voting centers. Local politicians plan to march in front of the newly established centers this weekend to encourage people to vote before Tuesday.
