Voting! You know its critical and we’ll help you get it right. First, know that Florida state law no longer has absentee voting as an option. “The COVID 19 pandemic is convincing more people to vote by mail. It's safe and reliable but nothing is perfect, so make it easier for the system to get it right. There have been changes since the 2016 presidential and 2018 midterm elections.
Ballots must be received by 7 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 3. In Florida, postmarks don’t count and late ballots are not counted.
If you wait, you risk that the ballot will arrive late, and the vote won’t get counted. Simply put, do it ASAP.
Sign the ballot envelope! This is necessary to identify yourself.
A missing signature means a ballot won’t be counted. A signature that doesn’t match what’s on file is flagged and may not be counted, so be consistent with signing.
All early voting sites accept mail ballots. Go online or call your elections department for the official locations.
Nov. 1st is the last day of early voting.
If you drop off your mail ballot at an early voting site, place them in the return envelope with a signature as if you were placing it in the mail.
Take your ballot to your Supervisor of Elections office on Monday, Nov. 2nd and Election Day, Nov. 3rd. Some locations allow drive thru drop off of ballots.
State law doesn’t allow people to drop off mail ballots at neighborhood polling sites on Election Day.
Check the status of your mail ballot online through the county elections office websites.
Stay tuned for more updates and share this with anyone who may need it.

WHY OUR LIFESTYLE CHANNELS
ADDRESS POLITICS
The American public must now vote for candidates armed with a distorted set of realities. How do we sort out truth from fiction and decide if candidates with ethical, moral or personal issues are worth voting for. Here are three (3) reasons why we address politics as a part of our lifestyle content:
1. Our media outlets www.infocustv.online and www.mumff.com are being tested on our ability to shine light on the truth around important issues relating to politics in an unbiased manner.
2. There's too much at stake to be uninvolved and passive to the political climate and how it permeates through other areas of our lives. To better serve you, we MUST be up to date with what affects both industry and people in general.
3. Governmental accountability and transparency is and will always be vital to a free and equal nation. Media outlets that care about their audiences will secure the facts that reveal a clear picture on what's going on in today's politics.
4. We don't do news but we deal with critical lasting trends to provide insight and education that goes beyond the day-to-day entertainment.
5. Lifestyle INCLUDES politics, as in taxes (income), healthcare (fitness), and so much more. Keep in mind politics exist in nearly every facet of daily life.
Hopefully, you have a better understanding of why our media outlets are going beyond movie reviews, car test drives and entertainment industry updates. We want to make sure you are aware of the major changes in our society that affect you and loved ones and we encourage you to get out the vote for all.
