I posted twits by a reporter who was in the courtroom at the time the decision was handed down. I should have posted on this thread too.

In Broward County for emergency hearing in Rick Scott v Broward SOE Brenda Snipes. Hearing hasn’t started yet, but judge is Carol-Lisa Phillips.— Ali Schmitz (@SchmitzMedia) November 9, 2018
Attorneys for Scott say the case is simple, about access to info that the Broward SOE was required to provide.— Ali Schmitz (@SchmitzMedia) November 9, 2018
Judge says Florida Dems can intervene in the public records lawsuit filed by Scott campaign. This allows Dems to have the same records that the NRSC/Scott has requested, if the judge grants the records.— Ali Schmitz (@SchmitzMedia) November 9, 2018
Snipes’ attorney says she’s not trying to prevent the release of the information the NRSC/Scott. He says she’ll gladly give them the records, but they’re trying to rush her in the midst of a busy counting period.— Ali Schmitz (@SchmitzMedia) November 9, 2018
Snipes’ counsel calls it “inappropriate” to intervene in the counting process, which is her “primary responsibility” until noon tomorrow.— Ali Schmitz (@SchmitzMedia) November 9, 2018
GOP attorney says it shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes, and requests an order that they get the records within two hours.— Ali Schmitz (@SchmitzMedia) November 9, 2018
Judge finds Broward SOE violated public records act and Florida constitution. SOE must provide public records requested by Scott and NRSC.— Ali Schmitz (@SchmitzMedia) November 9, 2018
Snipes must allow immediate inspection of records - plus no spoliation of records requested - on or before 7 pm tonight.— Ali Schmitz (@SchmitzMedia) November 9, 2018
Nice work.
And you all starved the Trolls so bad they all left... How about that?
Carry on.
Rep. Gaetz is on the ground there and just said on FNC that Snipes lawyers are still not granting access. Will be filing contempt of court charges.
