Florida governor extends voter registration after site crash

Ron DeSantis extended the stateโ€™s voter registration deadline Tuesday after he said heavy traffic crashed the stateโ€™s online system and potentially prevented thousands of enrolling to cast ballots in next monthโ€™s presidential election. In addition to online registration, DeSantis ordered elections, motor vehicle and tax collectors offices to stay open until that hour for anyone who wanted to register in person. The volume of requests that overwhelmed the Florida registration site Monday was not consistent with denial-of-service attacks, which typically render websites unavailable with barrages of several hundred million requests per second. Sarah Dinkins, a Florida State University student, tried to help her younger sister register Monday night. Ron DeSantis in allowing the stateโ€™s voter registration website to crash on the very last day to register for the upcoming November election is, sadly, completely believable,โ€ U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said.
