A look at Broward elections chief Brenda Snipes' long history of trouble
Sun Sentinel ^ | November 9, 2018 | Dan Sweeney

Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes is being sued by Gov. Rick Scott's Senate campaign, which alleges "fraud" in the vote count. But this is hardly the first lawsuit against Snipes,...[snip]

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 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....[snip]

.... Republicans say she is incompetent at best, corrupt at worst, and that she needs to go.

Even the president got in on the act, tweeting, “In the 2016 Election I was winning by so much in Florida that Broward County, which was very late with vote tabulation and probably getting ready to do a ‘number,’ couldn’t do it because not enough people live in Broward for them to falsify a victory!”...

1. Trump is 100% correct. There are very strong indicators that Broward (Snipes) was scheming to steal the Florida 2016 electoral votes from him.

2. The National Republican Senate Committee demanding Snipes inform the public how many votes remained to be counted, she has failed to comply because it will expose the ongoing fraud.

3. It's a tricky business because they have to project a number of fake ballots that will beat the real Republican winners. However, that magic number of 'found' ballots must be calculated so that only a reasonable percentage of them are for the actual losers.

4. After Scott’s victory in court, U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fort Walton Beach, announced and tweeted: “I call on @FLGovScott to immediately suspend Brenda Snipes,” and “She has failed to follow state transparency laws during this election, and has a long history of misconduct, including preemptively destroying ballots.”

5. Snipes is Gov. Jeb Bush's 2nd corrupt and incompetent SOE appointment in a row. Jeb felt obligated to appoint a democrat black female with zero elections experience in 2001- Miriam Oliphant. After the election debacle of 2002, Jeb replaced Oliphant with Snipes, another equally partisan corrupt incompetent black female unexperienced elections supervisor.

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 either died or 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.

More proof of what a low energy lowlife ¡Yeb! is.

Imagine that POS as POtuS during the Kavanaugh hearings. He would have brought back Merrick Garland.

It is curious. Snipes only has trouble when the GOP is winning. When the Rats are winning she seems to be able to do her job just fine.

Fire her, then lock her up.

The Republican VOTERS in Broward need to file a class action suit against her personally.

I don’t know how many remember “Spin and Marty”, but they did snipe hunts. I’m surprised nobody has mentioned a Snipe hunt in Broward.

Jeb was such a tool. He was pandering for the black or female or teacher votes that he would never really get for his reelection as governor. He repeated his mistake of hiring another SOE that was ......

1. Completely Inexperienced in elections

2. Teacher- school board background

3. Black female hellbent on cronyism within their neighborhood

Jeb is responsible for weakening and destroying the electoral process in Broward and jeopardizing Florida’s election process affecting the entire nation, as well.

What a tool and a fool.
