Statement on the Extension of Voter Registration Deadline

In response to today’s federal court ruling extending the voter registration deadline to October 18th, FDP Chair Allison Tant issued the following statement:

“We are thrilled the court agreed to extend the voter registration deadline a full week following Hurricane Matthew. While we wish it had not taken a lawsuit to get the Scott administration to do the right thing, today’s ruling is a major victory for all Floridians and for the democratic process in the Sunshine State.”
