Florida Gov. Says Voter Registration Deadline Won't Be Extended Despite Hurricane Matthew - ABC News

I would have cut off registration after the primaries but that's just me.

They JUST found out about it and now the darn hurricane stripped them of their right to vote.

That might be true. Maybe Republican counties don't do a very good job of advertising registration/election deadlines.

It's going to impact 2 big population centers: Orlando and Jacksonville. Now, those may be swing or Republican counties, but we all know which party has the voters that need buses and registration drives to get them registered. This is about setting a deadline and sticking with it, though. Libs love excuses for everything.

When has any Republican in power ever tried to make it EASIER to vote? It's their mission in life to make voting DIFFICULT.


Because demographics and turnout are not in their favor.


It's amazingly transparent.

Shrug. In the end, it's up to Florida's voters. I'm sure that if he gets a loud enough reaction, he'll change his mind.

Orlando s getting some rain, but nothing major. Jacksonville is solidly red.

If you haven't registered by now, you're clearly not interested in voting. Democrats need more time to harass the people.

How much damn easier can you make it? My god, do people need someone to wipe their butts too because it's too hard?

Not surprised. He knows that Trump will benefit.

Please explain exactly how Trump will benefit?

After that Kathleen Harris character, nothing surprises me.
