Politico Reporter: Broward County Election Practices Are ‘Nonsensical’

Marc Caputo, the co-author of Politico‘s Florida Playbook, said Friday that the election practices in Broward County, Florida are "nonsensical" as the county faces widespread scrutiny for its handling of ballots in the 2018 midterm elections.

Caputo appeared on MSNBC's "MTP Daily," where host Chuck Todd asked the Politico reporter whether he knows how many ballots need to be counted in Broward County.

"No, we don't, and in fact, a Miami Herald reporter just tweeted about an hour ago that, ‘Hey, we were told yesterday about all the early in-person votes had been tallied,' and then they found out today, ‘Oh, actually no, not all the early in-person votes had been tallied. There's tens more,'" Caputo said.

Caputo then compared Broward County's election office to Alice in Wonderland talking to the caterpillar, adding that the county's electoral system becomes "nonsensical."

"Elections are about records management, clocking who comes in, tracking who comes in, tracking who comes out," Caputo continued. "You can follow elections almost in real-time when it's early in-person voting and absentee ballot voting, but for some reason in Broward County, that just doesn't seem to happen. And, as a result, nobody really knows how many ballots are still left out there, how many provisional ballots, overseas ballots are going to trickle in now. Nobody should know and nobody does know how many of those are coming in, so it's still kind of in flux."

Caputo's criticism of Broward County, which has a history of vote-counting problems, stems from the failure of the county's elections supervisor, Brenda Snipes, to report the number of votes received by the jurisdiction for the Senate election between incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson (Fla.) and his Republican challenger, incumbent Gov. Rick Scott (Fla.), at the end of the early voting period. Snipes was unable...

There’s a simple way to distinguish real votes from fake votes.

And there’s a simple way to make sure real votes don’t get thrown away.

Any election official who doesn’t make sure it happens right is not fit for their job.

We need senior Democrat officials to step up and acknowledge that it's a problem instead of staying silent and reaping the benefits.

Scott should have removed Snipes years ago. Now we’re all paying the price for his failure. I wonder if he’s aware that he bears some responsibility here? Actually, scratch that — Trump has no doubt reminded him.

Imagine the Congo in the days of Henry Morton Stanley. Imagine the primitive natives, bizarre rituals, and undecipherable languages. There you have an idea of who's running elections in Broward County.

Partner, u ain't lying!!!

We need to stop this once and for all or we should make them see who voted in these elections and if they are Illegal Aliens. (They can get kicked out of the U.S. if they voted, which I strongly suspect they did)

The America Hating Imposter Obama was campaigning knowing full well that the DemonRat party was going to cheat like they did when he ran for POTUS in 2012.

The real votes are cast by registered citizens.

The fake votes are not.

This and the governor's race are going to be real dogfights. One can only hope the Florida gopers display fortitude equal to the rats brazenness. Scott seems to be a fighter.
