On February 16, 2012, President Obama nominated Walker to serve as District Judge for the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida.[3] He replaced Judge Stephan P. Mickle who took senior status in 2011. His nomination was forwarded by the Senate Judiciary Committee to the full United States Senate on June 7, 2012.[5] The United States Senate voted to confirm Walker on December 6, 2012 in a 940 vote. He received his commission on December 7, 2012.[4] He became Chief Judge in June 2018.
haha YES. Poor cheating dems.
Why is it that only democrats seek to extend the voter registration time? What’s in it for them?
Most important question is:
With so much time in the year in which people can register to vote, why does it come down to the last few days for them to get it done? It’s not like they weren’t aware that there’s an election coming up and that they need to register of they wish to be counted.
Answer to all voter related questions is that, the democrats seek more time in which they can set up their plans to cheat.
At least the headline writer got it right.
You had all month, all year, years to register to vote. That you did not is not the process's fault. It's yours.
Probably saw that the registrations were trending Republican so did not extend it. Normal leftist judges would not do this otherwise.
With this and Wisconsin, I’m thinking these judges don’t want to be shown up by SCOTUS...
Ruled correctly, but made sure the media had a lot of anti-republican talking points.
On the other hand, someone needs to look into what actually happened to that system. Florida has 21 million residents. Of that number, in march 13,536,830 were registered to vote.
Since that point, the democrats (and republicans) have been running registration drives to get their people out.
On september 24th, politico ran a story about how republicans had nearly caught up to democrats in raw registration numbers.In August, republicans added 58,000 new voters. That’s about 2000 a day, and was considered a great acheivement.
The democrats had set a goal of registering 1 million new voters. Over the course of the year, the party itself got 89,000 of a total of about 265,000 new registrants including their democratic partners.
Now, on the day the server crashed, they were getting 1.1 MILLION REGISTRATION REQUESTS each hour.
In other words, in ONE hour, the system was hit with more requests than both parties together had accomplished in an entire year, in a state where there might be 3 million eligible adults that still are not registered to vote.
Clearly, there was a denial-of-service attack. It could have been democrats — crash the system, file a lawsuit, blame republicans, get democrats riled up, maybe you manage to get another 5-7 days of registration and can get more democrats out. Clearly they weren’t expecting any more democrats to register, having been working that for a year.
Or, it could have been republicans fearful of last-minute surge in democratic registrations, and thinking they could block it.
I put my money on the first. The state pushed the deadline back a day, so anybody who actually was having trouble on the 5th could do it on the 6th.
But there is one point that is accurate. The Democrats are NEVER ready for an election, even though they know that there is going to be another one in four years. It's always something like people can't get an ID, or they moved and haven't had time to register, or ballots get lost, or on election day, machines "malfunction" and it delays the count, or they don't have enough workers to complete a count. Yes, the one thing we can COUNT on is every election, the Democrats aren't ready for it.
