“Governor Rick Scott “

Scott’s a wussy. He’ll do no such thing.

[HotHunt]

Scott comes across as not sure of himself. Almost immature in his thought process.

This mess in Broward would have never happened had Scott taken care of business long before the election.

Whether Scott or DeSantis decides Brenda Snipes' fate, they will want to have a comprehensive investigation and adequate, documented findings by the state Division of Elections before signing an order removing Snipes. Under Florida law, her removal can be contested before the Florida Senate, a venue where the issue could easily become both partisan and racially charged.

Mindful that Snipes was elected by the voters of Broward County, Florida Senate precedent and inclination will be to the effect that even gross incompetence and errors in an election are inadequate grounds for removal but should be remedied by the voters. Thus proof of substantive intentional misconduct without any excuse will likely be needed before Snipes is removed.

Alternatively, Snipes might be induced to resign from office by the threat of removal or criminal charges. Even fully merited criminal charges though will be hard to bring and prove at trial before a local jury certain to include Black jurors skeptical toward any hint of mistreatment based on race.
