The PANHANDLE OF FLORIDA IS NOT IN THE EASTERN TIME ZONE. That is why voting in FLA is not over at 7pm there, like everywhere else in the state. Where do you get your info? Here is more on Michigan where I was born and raised. Most of Michigan is in the United States Eastern Time Zone. Four counties (Gogebic, Iron, Dickinson, and Menominee) in the western Upper Peninsula that share their southern border with the state of Wisconsin are in the United States Central Time Zone. It is you, that does not have very simple details correct. I am suspect of you now, on this board. Your comment is totally idiocy.
