FL Judge Sides With Nelson Campaign, Extends a Ballot Deadline

U.S. District Chief Judge Mark Walker has granted a preliminary injunction to allow voters with mismatched ballots to fix the issue by 5 p.m. Saturday. It is a win for Sen. Bill Nelson's (D) campaign.

“The precise issue in this case is whether Florida’s law that allows county election officials to reject vote-by-mail and provisional ballots for mismatched signatures — with no standards, an illusory process to cure, and no process to challenge the rejection — passes constitutional muster," Walker said in his ruling. "The answer is simple. It does not.”

The county canvassing boards who make sure the signatures on their vote-by-mail or provisional ballots match state records, are "staffed by laypersons that are not required to undergo formal handwriting-analysis education or training," Walker reasoned. He concluded that voters who were found to have mismatched signatures need more time to correct the problem.

Nelson has also sued to extend the deadline for Florida counties to finish their machine recounts, which still stands at 3 p.m. Thursday. Republican Gov. Rick Scott is currently leading Nelson, and Republican Ron DeSantis is currently ahead in the race against Democrat Andrew Gillum in the gubernatorial election.

Well this Obama hack is going to be overturned. There is set law on the matter. This bullshit ruling is meaningless.
