<P> Originally, the president of the state senate acted as governor should that office be vacant . The 1865 and 1868 constitutions created the office of lieutenant governor, who would similarly act as governor . This office was abolished in 1885, with the president of the senate again taking on that duty . The 1968 constitution recreated the office of lieutenant governor, who now becomes governor in the absence of the governor . The governor and lieutenant governor are elected on the same ticket . </P> <P> Florida was a strongly Democratic state before the Civil War, electing only candidates from the Democratic and Whig parties . It elected three Republican governors following Reconstruction, but after the Democratic Party re-established control, 90 years passed before voters chose another Republican . </P> <Table> Governors of the State of Florida <Tr> <Th> No . </Th> <Th> Portrait </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> Governor </Th> <Th> Term in office </Th> <Th> Party </Th> <Th> Election </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> Lt.
