\"American<\/a>If you haven’t already voted by mail or at one of the early voting sites, it’s not too late. In Broward County, you can get information about early voting, voting locations and times, etc. from the Broward Supervisor of Elections<\/a>. Of course, you can always vote the old school way, in person, on election day, from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM on Tuesday, November 2, 2010. If you haven’t voted yet, and are still struggling with some of the issues, here are my recommendations.<\/p>\n
