President Donald Trump pardoned about 1,500 Capitol rioters on his first day in office, and now some of those involved in the Jan. 6 attack are getting a platform to tell their version of events.

Some of the rioters who tried to take over the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, are now considering running for office after being pardoned by President Donald Trump.

Secretary of State Laurel Lee issued a statement late Tuesday saying it does not appear that bad actors caused Monday's collapse of registration system. Monday's trouble with the voter registration website stoked concern, but there was relief that the cause was far less sinister. Its site would send Floridians to the state’s registration website. The statewide voter registration system, which serves Florida’s 67 counties, went online in October 2017. “The online voter registration site failed because it was designed to fail,” Holder said.
