Florida voters experienced problems when the state's voter registration system crashed hours before the deadline.

Some Florida voters trying to access the site found slow responses or error messages.

According to reports, this caused Democrats to accuse Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other Republican officials with apparent voter suppression.

Florida's Secretary of State Laurel Lee explained that the high volume of users caused the crash through tweets.

Lee added that they had increased capacity.

Lee said that the crash was only experienced for about 15 minutes.

However, Tampa Bay reports that a Times reporter could not enter the site on their mobile phone hours after sending Lee's tweet.

Florida Department of State spokesman did not immediately respond to request to comment.

Florida Democrats clamored on Twitter, saying that voters still have two hours to vote in time, and the site should be fixed right away.

Florida, voter registration site, prompted investigations to point the cause of the said website outage.

According to a report, investigators said they found "no evidence of malicious activity" connected with the site crash.

After meeting with Lee's office, DeSantis extended the deadline until 7 p.m. for both online and in-person voter registration.

Voters could turn in their registration to the offices of their local county election supervisors.

Florida voters can also turn to tax collectors and transportation officers or through mail postmarked by Oct. 6.

Florida Voters

Meanwhile, some Florida voters have been frustrated with the process.

One Florida voter, interviewed by My News 13, said she also encountered problems with the state's voter registration website.

"It kept sticking at that part where it says I'm not a robot. It would keep doing it and keep doing it, and it never moved," Holly Zuercher was quoted in a report.

Zuercher has been registered to vote a long time ago. But a family friend was not.

Zuercher said that it was frustrating, knowing the deadline coming, and you cannot do anything about it.

Zuercher lives in DeBary.

In Sarasota, Eliese Hunt encountered the same problems.

He said that it was going black on the last page. When he asked his cousin about it, Hunt said his cousin found out the website crashed.

Florida Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith said they started hearing from people that cannot access the website.

Smith said that the only fault is the state of Florida for not having a website that is ready to handle the capacity.

Upcoming Debate

Meanwhile, Miami Mayor Francis X. Suarez told President Donald Trump to stay away from his city until he no longer has the virus.

This came after Trump's statements that he looks forward to attending the next presidential debate on Oct. 15, which is set in Miami.

Trump was hospitalized at Walter Reed Medical Center over the weekend after announcing that he tested positive for COVID-19.

Trump said his treatment at the hospital had brought better conditions.

He then returned to the White House on Monday, wherein he removed his mask for a photo op.
