MIAMI – A federal judge has rejected a request to extend the registration of Florida voters even though the state online system crashed in the hours prior to Monday’s deadline and could have stopped thousands of eligible voters from voting in the November presidential election.

In his strongly worded decision, US Federal Judge Mark Walker wrote, “this court cannot remedy what the state broke.”

Walker’s decision came after many groups sued the state for an extension following the online voting system collapse on Monday, the last day Florida residents were eligible to register to vote in the November General Election.

Walker said the extension would have burdened the election offices around the state.

How long have people known the election is coming? And they're just now registering to vote?

Sorry, if you don't prepare that's not my problem.

“In this case, potential voters attempted to perform their civic duty, to exercise their fundamental right, only to be thwarted, once again, by a state that seemingly is never prepared for an election.”

THAT, is the money quote right there.

A federal judge with self control.

Give the judge a medal and a cheesecake.

You know his record? Is he philosophically liberal, or in dispensing justice (incarcerations)?

I’d keep an eye on him. He might have had an awakening instead of a wokeness.
