\nBreitbart<\/h4>\nMoveOn.org, which has been massively financed by billionaire George Soros, is peddling a petition sponsored by another Soros-backed group claiming that Florida voters \u201ccould be disenfranchised\u201d if the state does not extend the deadline for new voters to register.<\/h3>\n
\u201cWe need to shine a nationwide spotlight on this voting rights crisis\u2014because we can\u2019t let any eligible voter lose their right to be heard in our democracy,\u201d reads the\u00a0petition<\/a>, which echoes similar calls from Democratic candidates in Florida.<\/p>\nThe missive warns that voters could be \u201csilenced\u201d if the deadline isn\u2019t extended, arguing sections of Florida have been under a state of emergency.\u00a0The deadline to register in Florida was yesterday, one day before the hurricane made landfall.<\/p>\n
The petition was sponsored by Common Cause, which\u00a0describes<\/a>\u00a0itself as a grassroots organization consisting of \u201cmore than 1 million powerful, fearless, ordinary Americans working together to build a democracy that works for us all.\u201d<\/p>\nLike MoveOn.org, Common Cause is\u00a0financed<\/a>\u00a0by Soros\u2019s Open Society Foundations.<\/p>\nEven though the deadline ended one day before the hurricane hit, MoveOn.org\u2019s petition claims that Hurricane Michael \u201cwill prevent many Floridians from accessing services, documentation, or resources they needed to register to vote.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yesterday, the Florida Democratic Party filed a federal lawsuit\u00a0asking<\/a>\u00a0the state to extend the voter registration deadline by at least one week.\u00a0 This despite the ability of Floridians to register online from any location and even though the hurricane does not impact the entire state.<\/p>\nBlaise Ingoglia, chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, noted that extending the deadline would allow new voters in Democrat-heavy jurisdictions unaffected by the storm to register past the state\u2019s deadline.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is absolutely reprehensible that the Florida Democrats would play political games on the eve of a potentially devastating hurricane, and waste taxpayer money by filing this lawsuit,\u201d Ingoglia further charged.<\/p>\n
A\u00a0Florida Times-Union<\/em>\u00a0analysis<\/a>\u00a0this week found that Democrats gained the registration advantage over Republicans during the past two months.<\/p>\nJohn Tupps, a spokesman for Florida Gov. Rick Scott,\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0just prior to the close of registration yesterday that \u201cthe governor believes that every eligible voter should be able to register to vote and Floridians can go online right now to do so. In fact, nearly 10,000 people have registered to vote online since midnight.\u201d<\/p>\nAndrew Gillum, Florida\u2019s Democratic Gubernatorial candidate, pushed for extending the deadline. \u201cI do think we ought to do whatever we can to extend registration to folks, especially given the fact that most people are trying to scurry away from these areas,\u201d Gillum stated. \u201cThey aren\u2019t thinking about voter registration.\u201d<\/p>\n
Besides funding from Soros, MoveOn.org has also been\u00a0financed<\/a>\u00a0by the Tides Foundation, a leftwing sponsorship organization that has itself received\u00a0donations<\/a>\u00a0from Soros and has\u00a0partnered<\/a>\u00a0with Soros\u2019s Open Society Foundations.<\/p>\n
