A judge has extended voter registration through Wednesday throughout Florida in the aftermath of the state basically shutting down along the Atlantic coast last Thursday through Saturday for Hurricane Matthew.

You can still get a form from MyFlorida — just print it, fill it out and bring it to your County Supervisor of Elections, or follow the instructions on the site re other ways to register.

Or if you’re able to get to Miami Dade College’s Kendall campus on Tuesday afternoon, I bet they’ll have voter registration stations there, because Hillary Clinton and Al Gore will be speaking at a rally that was to cap off the last day of voter registration. Check out the Miami New Times for more info about the 3pm rally (doors open at 1) or RSVP on Hillary’s site.

If you’re further north, you can go see Bill in Palm Beach on Tuesday instead.

Bloomberg is quoted by the BBC as saying:
"It has become the source of controversy and division"...

Back in 2008, I posted this Diary about my grandmother's reaction to the Powell endorsement.

I just got off the phone with her regarding Powell's endorsement on CBS today.

Just got an autocall from the American Future Fund with a poll - a very simple one about who I'm voting for for president, who I voted for in 2008, and who I'm voting for for Senate - but it had a few other questions, too.

What Romney just said on Meet the Press:

“I’m not getting rid of all of health care reform. Of course there are a number of things that I like in health care reform that I’m going to put in place. One is to make sure that those with pre-existing conditions can get coverage. Two is to assure that the marketplace allows for individuals to have policies that cover their family up to whatever age they might like.”

Gawker today posted hundreds of pages of documents allegedly created by Bain Capitol and various related companies that get into details of Mitt Romney's holdings and his fortune.
Their main story starts here.

I wanted to share a portion of the letter that our school superintendent, Alberto Carvalho, wrote to the Miami Herald today regarding Trayvon Martin. You can read all of it on the Herald's website here.

If we hadn't seen her act so ridiculously before, I'd say this latest video was inconcievable.

I don't know who wrote the speech she read off a teleprompter (it's reflected in her glasses) in the video she released this morning; I don't even want to link to it.

But I'll quote the salient-to-this-diary point:

But, especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn.

Sarah, "blood libel" does not mean what you seem to think it means.

Update: OMG! Rec list! Thank you so much, everyone! I'm trying to keep up with comments, but am heading out in about 20 minutes and will be back later this afternoon... Again, thanks!

I'm serving as a poll watcher at a precinct that's in a South Florida school. There's no candidates or their supporters with signs outside, which strikes me as weird and somewhat sad, but there's been a steady stream of voters all morning long.

My twitterfeed, my facebook, my RSS reader, my blogroll and much of my email has been full of comments - short and long - about tonight's amazing votes and speeches and actions and change.

So many good diaries have been posted already, but I just wanted a simple answer to a simple poll.

No longer will we have "43" at whitehouse.gov - there is a new era on the web, and its home page is http://www.whitehouse.gov . One of the best things about it?

The ethics section.

ETA: Thanks to all who recommended this! And so many thanks to the hard-working programmers, coders and writers who put the site together and got it online so rapidly!
