Floridians Register To Vote For Presidential Election As Deadline Nears

MIAMI, FL - OCTOBER 01: Dorothy Torrence, from the Miami-Dade Elections Department, helps a voter fill out his registration form on October 1, 2012 in Miami, Florida. With the October ninth deadline for people to register to vote in the upcoming election approaching, the Florida Department of State says the number of people registering to vote is now averaging between 1,500 and 3,000 a day. Democrats have been questioning the motives of the Republican led legislator's plan to purge alleged non-citizens from the voting lists and roll back early voting. According to reports, the Republican Party fired a voter registration contactor last week after allegations that the firm, Strategic Allied Consulting, turned in incorrect and falsified voter registration forms to Florida election officials.
