I have been following the goings on in Florida and I'm struck by the desire of the Florida Gov. to not extend voter registration in the wake of Hurricane Matthew. The FL dems were able to get a one day extension until today and now the court has issued a further extension for an additional full week to allow displaced voters the ability to register.
I have a hard time finding a justifiable reason to limit when someone can register. Those displaced were primarily in urban centers along the east coast. These would be people who traditionally lean heavily towards democrats.
What am I missing here? Why do so many states put limits on registering?
