Florida politicians continue to support Trump:
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi continues to support Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump after his comments about kissing women and grabbing them by their genitals without consent. Bondi says the comments were "disgusting," but that she believes in forgiveness. Earlier last week, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio called Trump's comments "vulgar, egregious and impossible to justify," but the Republican senator says all that is not as bad as a President Hillary Clinton. And at a GOP fundraiser last Friday, Tampa Republican House candidate Christine Quinn said the woman who alleges Trump groped her 36 years ago on an airplane "was probably coming onto him so damn strong, and he was probably pushing her away." Class act, Florida GOP.

A federal judge ruled against Florida election officials on a state law that rejects a mail-in ballot if the voter's signature does not match the signature officials have on file with county supervisors of elections. In a preliminary injunction, a federal judge instituted a process that would allow voters to clarify any differing signatures. It's the latest blow for Florida's election officials after the same judge ruled against Gov. Rick Scott and his administration to extend the state's voter registration deadline until Oct. 18 because of the mayhem caused by Hurricane Matthew.
