Welcome to Europeia!
So what the heck is Europeia anyways?

Can I join?

So, I came here representing another region? I do not want to become a citizen. Where should I go?

What offices are there for people to be elected into?

What is there for me to do in Europeia?

That answers most of my immediate questions. What if I have any more?

Governor Scott Plays Politics with a Natural Disaster.

Somebody's got to keep you entertained.

In truth those of us who aren't on the East Coast of Florida got a lucky break. Had this Hurricane made landfall and zoomed across our state it would have been absolutely catastrophic. I, likely, wouldn't be able to type this right now. My thoughts and prayers are with all of my fellow Floridians who were, and are still being affected by Matthew; as well as those in other states who are about to be hit and aren't as prepared as Floridians are to deal with Hurricanes.

Right now, here's what we know: ~1 million+ people are without power, ~1.5+ million live in a State and Municipal Evacuation Zone, about ~40 Counties have closed their Government offices. For the last 4 to 5 days our state has been in a State of Emergency.

3 days ago we hit the one week mark for book closings-- on Tuesday the 4th Floridians had only 1 week to get their Voter Registrations turned in before the State stopped accepting them. In the midst of the panic, confusion, and devastation while millions of Floridians were seeking shelter, preparing to hunker down, or trying to escape Matthew's path they weren't thinking "I need to register to vote, I've only got a few days left!" -- no they were thinking "Fuck! A category 4 Hurricane is zooming straight for us! I need to get water, candles, food and batteries!"

For the past week Floridians have been thinking about survival and preparation, not registrations and deadlines.

Why is this important? In the last week of the same registration period in 2012 over 120,000 Floridians registered to vote. The election was later decided by less than about 90,000 votes.

Governor Rick Scott, who chairs one of Donald Trump's aligned Super PACS, refuses to extend the voter registration deadline. Period.

This behavior is absolutely shameful for someone who holds the highest office in the State. Voting is a fundamental right, and you're effectively stopping hundreds of thousands of people from possibly voting because they can't register if government offices are shut down, if they're not at home to mail it, if they can't get their power on to print out a registration form.

Governor Rick Scott is playing politics with a fundamental right.

Shame on Governor Scott.

In the words of Skizzy Grey "F--k you", Governor.

If you give this mouse a cookie, she'll probably ask for some cheese.

Another reason why I'm glad that my state allows voting day registration. (I don't think Scott Walker has gotten rid of that yet ... >_> )
