"Gov. Scott’s critique of the legislation is no surprise given his prior attempts to stifle voting in Florida. In 2012, Scott and other GOP lawmakers passed a number of election laws that made it more difficult to vote, including cutting the number of early voting days and restricting voter registration. The efforts ended up causing massive lines and chaos at the polls. After the election, Florida Republicans admitted that the election law changes were geared toward suppressing minority and Democratic votes.
Scott also oversaw a controversial and error-riddled voter purge which was ruled illegal because it was conducted too close to the 2012 election and accidentally disenfranchised voters.
Scott attempted to fix the situation in 2013, when he signed a bill to reverse his own election laws and restore early voting days, but he still insisted that he “did the right thing” by passing the laws in the first place."
