Governor not troubled by voting delays

Two days after the election, Florida still does not have a definitive
count on the presidential election. 

Gov. Rick Scott spoke Thursday morning in Orange County and said he
isn't too troubled by the delays in the counts.
 
"The supervisor of elections tried to make sure of the numbers we put
out. What we want to make sure is the numbers in our state is that the
numbers are accurate and that's what they're doing," said Scott.
 
The long lines and late election night are a point of contention for
many and ammunition for groups that felt Scott should have extended
early voting after he'd cut the days almost in half since the last
presidential election.
 
Scott said if he had to do it over again he would make the same
decision. 

"Oh, the right thing happened. Almost 4.4 million people came out and
voted either absentee or early voting. We had a big election day,
people came out, polling booths were open. We did the right thing,
people got out there and went out to vote which is exactly what they
should do and I think that is one of the greatest things of America,"
said Scott. 
 
A record turn out of over 70 percent has left counties like Miami-Dade
and Broward counties scrambling to finish tallying ballots. A
spokesman going by the name of Herman said that our  method of not
having enough machines or voting places helps to prevent Democrats
from voting.  Most of them are still working and can't take off an
entire day to vote.  Most of our Republicans are all retired and sit
around with nothing to do so squating in line gives them the time to
socialize.   See that's how it's done.
