This Whole thing is BS. Fire everyone involved, convene a special election. 

 

Also, the side of me that's tired and grumpy says to drag the offending parties through the street for pissing on our democracy and freedom. 

 

Don't need a special election when they already had a real one with a clear winner.

 

The part of me that's energized and alive says to drag the offending parties through the streets....to be pissed on.   This sh-- wouldn't happen if there were any consequences for doing it.

How does she still have a job?  It would be funny if her incompetence cost Nelson the election.

When Brenda Snipes took over the Broward Supervisor of Elections office in 2003, she was the figure with years of administrative experience who would steady an office that was reeling from what Gov. Jeb Bush called “incompetence” and “misfeasance.”

On Friday, following a court agreeing with a lawsuit brought by Gov. Rick Scott that Snipes had violated public records laws, she found herself the target of similar calls for her removal from office, and for the same reasons.

For 15 years, Snipes has served as Broward County’s elections chief, with mixed results. Long lines and vote counts that continued long after polls closed marred elections in 2002, 2004, 2006, 2012, 2016 and, of course, this year.

Among other issues:

-- A court ruled she had broken election law when she destroyed ballots from the 2016 election 12 months after it, instead of the 22 months required by federal law.

-- A medical marijuana amendment was left off some ballots in 2016.

-- Election results in the 2016 primary were posted on the elections office’s website before polls closed, another violation of election law.

-- In 2012, almost 1,000 uncounted ballots were discovered a week after the election

-- In 2004, some 58,000 mail-in ballots were not delivered to voters, leaving election officials to scramble to send new ones.

National media coverage of this Broward/Palm situation tells you all you need to know about their rooting interests in elections.

 

 

Two Democrat-heavy counties have been flagrantly violating the law for ~85 hours now and defied court orders and the media narrative has been “Republicans don’t want votes counted”

A question for the leftists here: Do you support Gillum and Nelson's push to count votes of non-US citizens?

 

It's a yes or no question.

 

Go.

Based on the transcript, the lawyers are objecting in order to preserve their right to challenge Ms. Bucher's presumption that the voter wasn't a US citizen.  This whole mess is why they should have voter ID laws.  Especially in Florida.
