Florida’s Presidential Electors met Monday, as did their counterparts from all other 49 states in the nation, to officially cast their votes for the 2020 election.

The presidential election has not yet been decided. Ballot counting is still underway in some states and litigation is stacking up in the courts days after election night. But this time, it wasn’t Florida holding up the process.

Florida is extending its voter registration to 7 p.m. tonight eastern time after the state’s website crashed yesterday evening.

A federal judge on Friday dismissed Florida Secretary of State Laurel Lee from a long-running dispute about providing Spanish-language ballots and voting materials in 32 counties, but he allowed the case to move forward.
