With the storm approaching, voting-rights groups, the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic Party asked Scott to extend the voting registration period to allow those distracted by the storm to be able to register. Scott said, no, they had plenty of time to register.

What? That's crazy. Scott urged people to drop everything and prepare for the storm with just days left to register. How could they heed his words and make sure to beat the deadline?...

The Florida Democratic Party filed suit, asking a federal court to extend the deadline by a week. U.S. District Judge Mark Walker initially extended the deadline by one day in order to conduct a hearing, and then extended the deadline the full week requested.

In his decision, Judge Walker took a swipe at Scott, stating "It has been suggested that the issue of extending the voter registration deadline is about politics. Poppycock. This case is about the right of aspiring eligible voters to register and to have their votes counted. Nothing could be more fundamental to our democracy."

"Scott's 'poppycock'"? In the RW Orlando Sentinel?!
