Florida voter registration won't be extended; judge rips state
Source: Politico
TALLAHASSEE — A federal judge declined to extend Florida‘s voter registration deadline, but not before ripping into Republican officials over the state’s repeated problems handling elections.
Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker issued his ruling early Friday, less than 24 hours after holding a testy two-and-a-half hour hearing during which he upbraided lawyers representing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Secretary of State Laurel Lee, both Republicans.
Walker called his decision an “incredibly close call,” but said he didn’t wan‘t to issue an order that would overwhelm local election supervisors less than a week before a presidential election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden that’s expected to have record turnout.
“Florida’s interest in preventing chaos in its already precarious—and perennially chaotic—election outweighs the substantial burden imposed on the right to vote,” Walker wrote.
