Governor Rick Scott says the state must consider adding early voting days and cutting the ballot to avoid the long lines Floridians endured on Election Day.
Scott also said Wednesday on CNN and WNDB radio in Daytona Beach that local elections supervisors should have more flexibility to allow for more voting machines where needed.
But the most surprising thing the Republican governor said may be that he and GOP lawmakers perhaps erred in cutting early voting days from 14 to 8 for the 2012 elections.
"I think there's three things", said Scott. "One, the length of the ballot. Two, we've got to allow our supervisors more flexibility in the size of their polling locations. And three, the number of days we have. We've got to go back and look at the number of days of early voting we have."
Scott signed the 2011 law that cut the number of voting days. But when CNN's Soledad O'Brien asked whether that meant he bore some of the blame, the governor said he'd simply followed the law.
Scott said he wants a bipartisan group to look at the number of early voting days, but wasn't specific on CNN or in the later interview how many more days might be needed.
