He should be in jail. Voter suppression should be illegal. It amazes me that it's not.

his reputation with the voters of Florida. We are to expect a kinder, gentler Rick Scott.

I just hope it doesn't blur the memories of those in this state who despise the guy. Unfortunately, I live in a part of the state where the Republicans are so indoctrinated that they will vote for anyone who has an R after their names even when they know that person will screw them over in a heartbeat...

who cut the no. of voting days and hours.

OOOOOOPS!

Veil of delusion.....from the "concerned Governor".

which can be be hacked to switch votes. Bet on it.

"After EVERYTHING I did to suppress them, I want to know HOW so many damn Democrats STILL managed to vote!"

It wouldn't surprise one bit if his "solution" is to further reduce early voting days or knock more people off the rolls. 2014 is on the horizon and he knows he's in deep shit.

nt

Who the hell does he think he's kidding.

Your approval rate in is the low 30's. You are on your way out.

How can they think people are so stupid. This is insulting to the highest degree. Lying SOS!!!!!!!!!!! I really am getting tired of these so-called 'leaders' treating people with such obvious disrespect. They better vote this ass out soon, because never forget floridians voted him into office.

He should be made to answer for his wrong deeds and lose his re-election. He has shown an inability to governor, he is an obstructor.

DUMBASS!!!!....The time to pretend you give a shit was the day of,and before the election.....

nail in his coffin. In the meantime, some real updates to Florida's system need to be undertaken.

They shouldn't be surprised that he's still a snake.

Agree with the comments that he's now trying to cover his corrupt butt. Who could have predicted long lines after cutting early voting and taking steps to intentionally suppress the votes of registered Democrats?

but not by enough. Some folks had to leave before voting. A heavy rain would have clinched it for the GOP. Now, he will use this review to see how to tighten the strategy to reduce the 47% voting more.

Is that available in Florida?

lines both during early voting and during election day. But then I am sure he knows that already.

we have half the voters than Florida yet had 18 days of early voting including 5 weekend days. I don't know how the rest of the counties were set up, but in Guilford County we had 13 early voting sites(population here doesn't exceed .5 mil,) and after nine days another seven or so were opened. They weren't added they had already been scheduled in some of the more outlying areas.

63% of 2008 totals in NC had voted before election day. Of course, we had a Dem governor and SOS who set it up. Now, with the Repuke governor and super majorities in the State House and Senate coming in, who knows what'll happen. At least the Dem SOS was re-elected. I want to see the Gov and his minions try to lessen early voting in this state.

There's no way we'll stand for it here.

The repukes really outdid themselves on cash. Even little small-county commissioners were given a million or so by the superpacs.

Plus, the vote tallies in my county were really suspect. The number AND percentage of voters who voted straight dem ticket would not sync with the county voting more votes for Rmoney. When I went to vote, there was NOT ONE democrat helping with the election. Alll tables were filled with repukes.

I am a Florida native and believe me, he will not be able to win in this state again. There are not enough votes in the yankee gated communities where he feels comfortable. After having all of his amendments go down in flames, he is toast! Utterly humiliated. Good!

does anyone in florida really believe that he is concerned? he is just trying to save himself at the next election.

His game plan failed.

on voting day?

It's simple ARITHMETIC.

If you have 100,000 people vote per early voting day and you had 10 early voting days, then cut back the number of voting days to 5, you should expect an extra 500,000 people on the regular voting day!

The number of overall voters won't diminish just because you decrease the early voting days. You just get more voters on each day.

My mom works at a polling station and she told me that when they did the training that they brought in 50 machines but on Tuesday they were all shocked to find only 14 machines. Any wonder why there were long lines in all democratic precincts....my wife, son, and I waited almost 2 hours ON ELECTION DAY, along with I'd say 120 out of the 142 people who were lined up when they counted when we arrived. BUT....not one of us left

MUCH LONGER and voting was supposed to be much more difficult and far fewer people were supposed to be allowed to vote.

He's very angry at the outcome and he wants to fix the problem that allowed Obama to win Florida.

Clueless incompetence.

GOP. Great at getting elected. Terrible at governing.

Where are all the jobs you promised? FL has one of the worst job loss records in the nation under your reign. Cutting teachers pay and the number of teachers, firefighters and policemen didn't work out so well for you, did it? Your little rich friends didn't create more jobs with all the tax cuts you gave them. They just banked the money and partied on, gee big surprise there.

You lied and cheated and stole the election last time, but don't think you can do it again. A huge plurality of the folks here loathe you, even Republicans, so you will not win a 2nd time.

Elderly people have medical reasons for not being in long lines. Maybe the red vote was too supressed by long lines.
Yes, I am speaking from an assumption, Scott is a partisan player.

That could be Scott's entire racket - suppression along with encouraging more absentee voting so that his "boleteros" can engage in election fraud.

You go to the polls expecting normalcy, ease of voting, not many hours standing on your feet.

and he will take full credit for fixing it.

He knew cutting early voting in half would create long lines and discourage voters. That is why he did it!

I'd be happier if a third party like the USDOJ did such a review.

Of taxpayer money! He knows exactly why the lines for so damn long. It's exactly what the dems told him would happen if early voting was cut in half. Unbelievable.

Only in Florida would the fact that too many people voted be identified as the problem.

He causes the problem, now pretends to solve it? Give me a fucking break.

stop trying to throw roadblocks in the way of people exercising their right to vote.
Look in the mirror.
