Florida Democrats have registered 3,000 voters in the last few days

I checked a few days ago and the Democrats were at 4.617 million. Today I checked and they are at: 4,620,400 in only a few days.

This would not have happened if that judge did not strike down the voter registration restrictions.

On Edit:

Since the end of July the Republicans have registered 21,608 new voters and the Democrats have registered 27,076 new voters. About 25% more.

Did the Feds step in and prevent those discriminatory voter registrations? HockeyMom Sep 2012 #3
Yes. A federal judge blocked the voter registration restrictions. Tony_FLADEM Sep 2012 #4

I know teachers were complaining that they were putting so many restrictions on new voter (18 year old HS) registrations, that many had stopped doing it.

Republicans are trying anyway they can to prevent Democratic voters. I am STILL waiting for my Absentee Ballot. Whether in Florida or back in NY, I learned my lesson with my first time voting in Florida. I am NOT going to vote in person here. Not going through that humiliation, or maybe even disenfranchisement, again. My vote is far too precious to chance that.

Republican voter registrations. Can we assume they would onlyl have been enforced against Democrats?

I don't think any voter suppression or id law could stop a wave of landslide voters like those of 2008.(although we might not get that type of turnout like 2008, it can still happen)
