Gov. Rick Scott's criticism of online voter registration angers elections officials

TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Rick Scott's administration is quietly trying to scuttle legislation that would allow people to register to vote online in Florida, a stance that county election supervisors call "perplexing," "inaccurate" and "erroneous."

The Scott administration's behind-the-scenes opposition has opened a new rift between Scott's office and county supervisors and stirred new speculation that Scott may not want to take steps that would expand the pool of voters as he explores a possible U.S. Senate bid in 2018.

Florida would become the 25th state with an online voter registration program under a bill (SB 228) sponsored by Sen. Jeff Clemens, D-Lake Worth. The idea has broad bipartisan support as well as the backing of AARP, the League of Women Voters and Disability Rights of Florida, and it unanimously passed a Senate committee Thursday.

2. That's how Republicans in general like their electorate

The goobers are going to vote for them anyway so all they have to do is keep those of us who vote D off the roles.
