FL Judge To Broward County: Your Shoddy Vote Counting Operation Violated Open Records Laws
Townhall ^ | Nov 09, 2018 4:20 PM | Matt Vespa Matt Vespa

Posted on 11/09/2018 2:59:16 PM PST by Texas Fossil

Well, Gov. Rick Scott’s legal action against the shoddy ballot counting antics in two of the most liberal counties in the state seems to have clinched its first win: A Florida judge ruled that Broward County, the largest Democratic county in the state, was in violation of state law, and that Brenda Snipes, the county’s elections supervisor, was in violation of open records act. Ms. Snipes was not giving regular updates on how many outstanding ballots were left. She was just dumping vote counts in the late hours, which has chipped away at Scott’s lead, but the secrecy and the timing was suspect. Why is Broward taking so long? Hurricane Michael-ravaged counties have been able to count their ballots on time. Now, she must comply with records inspections by 7 P.M. 

Scott's lawsuit prevails. As was abundantly obvious, Broward County is in violation of the law. https://t.co/3Ou9FiEWFs— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) 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

I understand your logic, however I have too points to make. 1) Remember the Committee to investigate voter fraud that was formed shortly after the 2016 election? A short time later they disbanded and turned their findings over to Homeland Security.

2) One morning as I was walking to my truck, I noticed footprints in the dew laded grass. someone had climbed my fence and was casing my property. I didn’t call the cops, I just made some puja boards and laid them in the grass. Two mornings later, one had a good amount of blood on it.

Sometimes it is best not to broadcast your intentions.

This is one of Snipes’ scams...how she rigs elections:

Approximately 106% of the citizens of voting age were registered to vote and cast a ballot in Broward County.

Snipes had information WRT over 200 registered voters in one Coconut Creek community who have
either died or who no longer reside in the community.” She leaves these voters on the rolls...then weaves them in later.

She’s a master criminal. Lock her up.

This President is all about telling the Truth and discovering the Truth. Even though we were ready, it’s still shocking how criminal and corrupt the Left really is.. We suspected as much, but man oh man.. What they have been getting away with for DECADES is beyond comprehension. It’s a lot to digest.

I KNOW people very close to the Rick Scott campaign. They knew how close it would be. They ran, “What if” scenarios about the outcome. It was suggested to Scott to have a team prepared to file 1 hour after polls closed, if certain counties wouldn’t post final counts etc. as required by FL law. He wouldn’t ok it.

If what you say is true, it means Scott didn't lose the race, and it means he wasn't cheated out of a victory. It means the son of a bitch took a dive. Eff these prickless RINO POS's. It is probably just as well that Scott lost, just as it was just as well the McCain and Romney lost. I'd as soon have a rat bastard in office as a prickless RINO. Better the devil you know...

” I would expect a judge with half a brain could see that and invalidate all of those votes and require a re-vote that is heavily supervised to keep it from happening again.”

That’s probably what it’s going to have to take, and it will be a giant shitstorm. Giant. Will likely take months to resolve, fought to the SC. Trump is getting directly involved, now that Scott got caught with his pants down.

It will be bad enough to get some on Trump. He ain’t happy, I’ll bet.

Scott kept Trump at arm’s length during the campaign. Command decision. Not nevertrumo, but not exactly welcome mat. Said, “I got this.”

We couldn’t even get yard sigs for Rick Scott. His decision. Wanted to seem “above it all,” and work the hurricane recovery. Purposely stopped printing yard signs. Purposely.

Dumbass. Great Governor though. Just politically naive. No killer instinct. Now Trump will save his ass.

Hopefully getting an order to wiretap the broward election supervisors phone and look at all her personal e mails to present to a federal grand jury. She is personal friends with matt cadwell. She is silently very pissed and likely doing something big.

Court should find all of Broward County ballots “spoiled” and declare that it’s the election commissioner’s fault.

Well, it is. But they are part of an organized criminal gang that are attempting to overturn a legitimate election process by fraud.

I doubt the additional ballots are separated from the Legit ballots. So if it cannot be recovered, the county results should be de-certified and not included in the election results.

It is all about the agenda, the truth is an enemy of their intent so they must confuse that to attain their goal.

ComDem Insanity is the result.

I do not think so. I am convinced they fabricated new ballots and eliminated ballots that were GOP ballots.

Rick Scott is a very weak man.

What is it with the ballless Republican governors?

I don’t know the law, but I’d imagine there are several actions that can be taken when an officer refuses to comply with a lawful order. That said, I doubt any action will be taken. The elections official is a liberal and has pigmentation immunity.

We shall see. I’m not sure that is a valid legal defense for a criminal act.
