Gov. Rick Scott: Florida needs more Republicans

Gov. Rick Scott says theGOP needs to out-register Democrats in Florida.

One thing Ive really focused (on) at the party is we have a disadvantage to the Democrats right from the standpoint of the number (of) registered voters, Scott said. One thing I want the party to do is to make sure we do a better job in getting more registered voters, Republican registered voters, because long-term that's going to be very important.

Of Florida's 11.17 million registered voters, as of Aug. 11, 4.01 million are Republican and 4.6 million are Democrats.
