ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Long lines continued to form outside of early voting polls across Central Florida.

Nearly 300 people had lined up outside the Orange County Library on East Colonial Drive, Friday morning, even before the polls opened. At the same location, long lines kept early voters waiting until late Thursday night.

Galen Howell and his wife were in line at 6 a.m.

“Every time we come here the line was so long,” said Howell. “I'm on oxygen (and) can't wait that long so we decided to come here early.”

Fortunately, Mr. Howell brought an extra tank.

Statewide, elections officials say nearly 2-million people have already voted.

The line at the Alafaya Library wrapped around the building and voters circled the area trying to find a place to park because the lot was full.

“I was here yesterday and the line was like three hours so I came here kind of early hoping to beat the line,” said Chris Stevens.

At noon Friday, 112,000 voters had cast ballots in Orange County, 58,000 in Seminole County, 52,000 in Volusia County and 39,000 in Brevard County.
