Florida Voters Interviewed By Maker Of 47 Percent Video

WASHINGTON -- The recorder of the clandestine video that revealed Mitt Romney's poor opinion of 47 percent of Americans made another video this week. He interviewed voters across South Florida for HuffPost, asking what it was that drew them to the polls.

Florida faced a raft of widely reported election problems throughout an eight-day early-voting period that Gov. Rick Scott (R) refused to extend. By Monday, the situation had calmed down at most polling stations.

In an email that day, the video maker said it had been a "slow day" in Miami-Dade and Broward counties.

He spent a few hours Monday around the Broward County Governmental Center in Fort Lauderdale. "At Broward right now," he texted. "A trickle of people dropping off absentee ballots but that's it."

On Tuesday, when the polls closed in Florida, there were still hundreds still standing in line, reported The Miami Herald. Voters waited as long as seven hours, the paper reported, and in at least one precinct they walked away from the long lines out of frustration.

The now-famous video of Romney's comments, made at a private South Florida fundraiser in May, rocked the campaign and has dogged the GOP presidential nominee right up until Election Day.

"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what," Romney said in the clip. "All right -- there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent on government, who believe that, that they are victims, who believe that government has the responsibility to care for them. Who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing."

"[M]y job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives," Romney added.

The video maker continues to request anonymity.
