STUART VARNEY (HOST): Now, right after the hurricane has moved off -- I mean, that's probably what 36 hours from now, or something? I expect President Obama to go down there, probably Hillary Clinton will go down, and probably Donald Trump. So there's going to be the aftermath politics. Who's going to win this one?
TUCKER CARLSON: That's a great question. I mean, look, the conventional view, and I think it's right, is that anything that makes voting more difficult hurts the Democrats because their voters tend to be less committed -- and there may be other factors there too. But that is definitely what political consultants believe. If it rains, there's bad weather, if anything gets in the way of easy voting, Democrats suffer.
VARNEY: Now, they were going to have -- the actual registration deadline was October the 11th.
CARLSON: Yes.
VARNEY: The Democrats wanted that to be extended.
CARLSON: Of course.
VARNEY: Governor Scott says, “no.” So, I guess that would tend to favor the Republican Party in November, correct?
CARLSON: It favors people who are organized, who know what they're voting for, who have their lives together. I mean, I guess you could say that favors the Republicans.

VARNEY: What I'm getting at here is you've got this massive storm, it's arrived, it has hit Florida, Florida is a key state.
CARLSON: Yes.
VARNEY: The politicians are going to be all over it. My initial reaction is to say that it favors the Republicans. I hate to be -- I think that sounds almost crass to be making political judgments when the storm is still hitting.
CARLSON: That's right.
VARNEY: But nonetheless, I think that's where its going.
