[Text Drivers are Killers]

This is insane. If a change is needed it should be made by the state legislature not judges and certainly not federal judges.

oct 10 2016 (CNN)A federal court has extended Florida's voter registration deadline from Tuesday to 5 p.m. ET Wednesday due to Hurricane Matthew's interruption of last-minute sign-ups.

The US District Court ruling comes after the Florida Democratic Party sued, seeking an additional week due to the "strong likelihood" many of the state's voters would be "severely burdened" by the hurricane's fallout in the upcoming election.

Florida Republican Gov. Rick Scott had opposed the extension, saying last week that "people have had time to register."

In court papers, Marc Elias, who serves at the general counsel for Hillary Clinton's campaign, argued that Scott "unambiguously ordered" Florida citizens to evacuate, and now some voters have been prevented from being able to register which might decrease "the overall likelihood" that the party will be successful in helping to elect Democrats.

In a perfect world...sure. But Fla. has a horrible record with voter suppression, so the Feds should step in.

they have a horrible record of purging their rolls of the dead, felons, people who can't remember what city they live in and other key liberal demographics......

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Florida's government should be dismissed, and a military governor should be appointed by Obama until it becomes civilized.

a week is a bit much, but it's better to err on the side of voter access.
Generally I support voter ID -but if you have ID ( to protect against fraud) you also need to make sure voter access is maximized.
That means free ID for the poor, and even free transportation get get the ID's.
Afterall voting IS a right -not just a privledge

I'm fora national ID card. But getting back to Florida, i can't think of a good reason not to extend registration,
since the hurricane did cause a lot of evacuations

Well then you're stupid. The feds have no jurisdiction to do such a thing - at least that's what the tenth amendment says. Ever hear of it.?

This should have been addressed by the state. And if they choose to do nothing, so be it.

There is no voter suppression in Florida; just brain dead idiots who are too stupid to know how to properly register within the legal timeline.

 

[evince]

the courts don't agree with your lies

Outrageous, trying to allow more people to vote! Outrageous fascism!

I think the main issue is that if it should have been done, which i agree it should, the state should be the one to do it.

Florida, and most states in the South, have a track record of suppressing, or attempting to suppress, votes that would normally lean towards a Democrat. There's no doubt about that. That's a civil rights violation. When a state makes a concerted effort to do so, the feds should step in. Otherwise, those states, left to their own devices, still have blacks at the back of the bus.

If we didn't have concrete indictments proving how corrupt the DNC, in collusion with Hillary herself, is, I'd agree.

People on welfare should not be allowed to vote. That's half the population right there. THINK
