Florida Governor Rick Scott is expected to cast his vote on Election Day. And, he’s not shy about who he’s voting for.

“I want everyone to get out and vote, whether you got your absentee ballot in, did early voting, or show up on Election Day," said Scott. "I’m going to be there on Election Day. I’m going to vote for Mitt Romney for President, Connie Mack for Senator, and I’m going to be voting down in Naples, Florida.”

Scott made his comments at a recent Republican fundraiser in Newberry. The Governor and his wife, Ann, are expected to vote in Naples Tuesday at around 7:15 a.m. at their precinct, the Saint Ann Jubilee Center.

As of Monday morning, more than 4.5 million Floridians have already voted. The first statewide poll results are expected to be reported at 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
