Florida Gov.: No hurricane extension for Clinton

Florida Gov. Rick Scott said Thursday that the state would not extend its Oct. 11 voter-registration deadline in response to Hurricane Matthew, throwing cold water on a request from the Clinton campaign.

"I'm not going to extend it," the governor told reporters Thursday. "Everybody has had a lot of time to register. On top of that, we have lots of opportunities to vote: early voting, absentee voting, Election Day. So I don't intend to make any changes."

Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, Robby Mook, said Thursday that they hoped election officials in the Sunshine State would consider making accommodations for voters affected by Hurricane Matthew.

Good for the Gov. I actually heard a newscaster here in the Orlando area express surprise that sheriffs were not able to arrest people who refused to evacuate. Lord help us all.

They’ve had 4 years to register. Another few days isn’t going to make a big difference. The governor is right.

don’t know which is worse, her hair or her shirt.
Ok, it’s her eyes.

BTW, I don’t think that hill voters need more time to register. They vote often and early. dead or alive.

Right, jail them in a cell in the path of an oncoming major hurricane. That’s not bright.

So far in FL, not much of a hurricane. No great winds yet. No big storm surges. All blather about 130 MPH winds that haven’t really materialized. Sounds like Haiti got the brunt of it and FL not so much. We’ll see if GA fares any better, or SC.
