Florida Gov. Scott mistaken for dead in 2006 vote

We've all read the story of War hero, 91, targeted in Florida's purge of voter rolls about Bill Internicola. Maybe Gov. Scott has been seeking revenge for what happened to him in 2006 when he was purged and declared dead?

(Reuters) - Florida's governor, who is leading a disputed purge of voter registration rolls, had to cast a provisional ballot in 2006 because officials mistakenly thought he was dead, election officials said on Thursday.

Governor Rick Scott was required to use a provisional ballot in the 2006 primary and general elections because Collier County election officials had received a Social Security Death Index Death Record that led them to believe he had died on January 27, 2006.

In fact the deceased was Richard E. Scott, who had the same birthday as the governor, December 1, 1952. The governor's full name is Richard Lynn Scott.
