Florida Democrats are calling for state officials to extend the voter registration deadline as Hurricane Michael approaches.

Florida Democratic Party Chairman Terrie Rizzo sent a formal letter to Gov. Rick Scott (R) and Secretary of State Ken Detzner on Monday requesting that they push back the deadline as Floridians prepare for the storm.

Tuesday is the state's deadline for eligible individuals to vote ahead of November’s elections, but the impending hurricane will “adversely impact the ability of these eligible, but unregistered individuals who may have waited until the last day in order to register to vote,” Rizzo wrote.

Scott has already declared a state of emergency in 35 counties and residents have already begun evacuating along the Gulf Coast.

1. Good luck with all that. When has a Republican EVER willingly sought to expand the franchise

...in the past 130 years? The whole point of the GOP is suppression of others exercise of right to vote.

2. Is this one of those things where...

Either God is intervening with the election to support a GOP candidate, or to interfere with a GOP candidate, or ... is it an incident where the shadow government... you know; where JFK, The Clintons, and the Obamas are somehow generating a low pressure system in the Gulf of Mexico to somehow interfere with something?

Thoughts?

3. Obviously the deep state still controls HAARP. Science is just a secular word for witchcraft.

The pan handle is probably not very blue, so concentrate efforts further south this week?

4. "Tuesday is the state's deadline for eligible individuals to vote"

I think that should read "Tuesday is the state's deadline for eligible individuals to REGISTER to vote"

I checked the article online too, just to be sure, and it has the same mistake

On Edit, clarification: it's quoting Florida Democratic Party Chairman Terrie Rizzo's letter to Scott and Detzner, but ...

5. This happened in New Jersey & New York too after Sandy

Although in that case, Sandy hit literally days before the actual election.
