A federal judge on Monday extended Florida’s voter registration from Tuesday until 5 p.m. Wednesday, after Hurricane Matthew inundated the eastern half of the state Friday.

The Florida Democratic Party sued in U.S. District Court last week, after Republican Gov. Rick Scott denied its request to extend the deadline because of the hurricane. The lawsuit said there was a “strong likelihood” voters would be “severely burdened” by the hurricane’s damage and not have time to register.
