State Republicans' stab at election reform has confused the hell out of the 67 county elections supervisors from around Florida.
What's new: The supervisors vented at a summer conference Wednesday with Florida Division of Elections director Maria Matthews at Tampa's Water Street Marriott.

The state of play: If supervisors are confused about SB 90, which is already facing four separate lawsuits, voters likely will be too.
- "Some of this is unworkable. Some of it just doesn’t make much sense. Some of it seems to disenfranchise voters," Leon County supervisor Mark Earley told the Times.
