Fox News, Hot Air and TheBlaze report that heavy rain and flash flooding led Florida officials to move polling places in several counties ahead of Election Day, Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an executive order on Monday declaring a state of emergency in Brevard, DeSoto, Hardee, Highlands, Indian River, Martin and St. Lucie counties, and allowing county election supervisors who cannot meet polling-place requirements to seek state approval for alternative voting arrangements. Fox News says the Florida Department of State's website listed changes in seven counties, and TheBlaze says the Elections Division had listed 19 changes. Hot Air reports at least four precincts moved in St. Lucie County and five locations moved in Brevard County. The outlets say about 22 inches of rain fell in 24 hours in Palm Bay, according to a National Weather Service meteorologist.
