Fla. judge extends voter registration by a week due to hurricane

By Neetzan Zimmerman

A federal judge is extending voter registration in Florida for an additional week to compensate for the disruption endured by residents during Hurricane Matthew, according to CNN.

The registration had already been extended by a day from its original deadline of Tuesday, but U.S. District Judge Mark Walker on Wednesday agreed to Florida Democrats’ demand to extend it further. The new deadline is October 18.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) opposed extending the deadline, saying people already had plenty of time to register.

Of course. I'm surprised the judge didn't also offer to register Haitians affected by the hurricane, too.

The fix is in.

The Republicans need this extension more than the Democrats:

Quote
Of the approximately 651,000 new voters that have signed up in Florida from Jan. 1 through Aug. 31, about 230,000 (35%) registered as independents, about 221,000 (34%) as Democrats and about 185,000 (28.4%) as Republicans, according to Daniel A. Smith, a political science professor at the University of Florida who studies registration activity. The rest registered as third-party voters.

If you're too damn lazy to register in that span of time you shouldn't be voting.
