Various problems, including long lines and slow ballot counting, plague the November election in Miami-Dade County.
The group discussed doubling the number of early voting days, opening more early voting locations, limiting the length of the ballot, and increasing the number of staff who count absentee ballots.
"At least one state has a policy that a voter can only stay in the voting booth five minutes," said Townsley.
The group will present its recommendations to the Florida Legislature at the end of January.
