The attempt by the Florida governor, Rick Scott, and his Republican dominated legislation to suppress the vote by reducing election days and crowding the ballot with unnecessary questions resulted in the state being made a laughing stock of the nation. One Republican state Representative, Mike Bennet, even went so far as to say that Florida makes voting too easy, and voters should go through a difficult process like people in Africa! According to him, "Why would we make it any easier? I want 'em to fight for it. I want 'em to know what it's like. I want them to go down there, and have to walk across town to go over and vote." So, his oppressive intentions and that of other Florida senators such as Miguel Diaz De La Portilla resulted in an exposure of the poor judgment and leadership of the state along a lack of respect for the voters. The selfish tactics created an embarrassment for the state of Florida.
