Gov. Scott cast provisional ballot in 2006 because he says election officials thought he was dead

Florida Gov. Rick Scott knows what it's like to be told that he's dead and not registered to vote.

The Republican governor said in a radio interview Thursday that he was forced to cast a provisional ballot because election officials said he had been taken off the voter rolls.

"They said I had passed away," Scott said on Tallahassee-based radio station WFLA. "I said, 'Here's my drivers license. I'm here, I'm really alive.' So they allowed me to vote provisionally."

Collier County election officials confirmed that Scott was required to cast a provisional ballot in two elections in 2006. Scott was not in politics at the time.
