In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, several federal judges have ruled against extending voter registration deadlines in Georgia and Florida, despite requests from civil rights groups and state officials. A federal judge specifically rejected calls to reopen voter registration in Georgia, citing no legal grounds for an extension despite the hurricane's disruption. Meanwhile, South Carolina has taken a different approach, extending its voter registration deadline by ten days following the storm's devastation. As the situation unfolds, voting registration remains a critical issue in these states, with local and national organizations actively pursuing legal avenues to address the challenges faced by voters affected by the hurricanes.
