Florida Gov. Rick Scott's refusal to extend his state's deadline for
voter registration in response to Hurricane Matthew is leading to fears

The deadline to register is Tuesday, but with
1.5 million Floridians under mandatory evacuation orders, the Hillary

voting, absentee voting and Election Day. So I don't intend to make any
changes."
