Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes tries to explain to the canvassing board the discrepancy in vote counts during the hand count,... recount hit yet another snag with 2,040 ballots lost or misplaced.
The county’s eternally beleaguered SOE Snipes said they were either misplaced, misfiled or mixed in with another stack. One thing she said she was sure of was that the ballots were still in the building. “The ballots are in this building. There would be nowhere else for them to be,” Snipes said. “The ballots are in the building."
Snipes has been in the crosshairs... since Election Day. With a noon Sunday deadline looming, the Canvassing Board was... uncertain what to do. “We're concerned with the ramifications of failing to complete this task,” ..." we don’t want to disenfranchise 714,849 voters at the expense of 2,000 voters.”
Snipes told the Canvassing Board and lawyers.... an employee likely misplaced the ballots. “I’m not blaming anyone, but many ... were not as well trained as some others."
...the vote tally first reported to the state is bigger than the machine recount.... That’s because the ostensibly lost ballots likely didn’t get tabulated during the recount, Snipes said. Snipes .... believes that the initial vote totals.... are accurate.... she wants those [original]; numbers adjusted for additional votes uncovered in manual recounts....The board will return at 8 a.m. to approve a final to send to the state.

Fried, is locked in an exceedingly tight race with Republican Matt Caldwell for agriculture commissioner.
“Dr. Snipes, with all due respect to you and your office” — to explain what happened. “The ballots being in the building doesn’t get them counted,” [Fried's attorney said.].... Fried’s vote total went down 1,341 votes in Broward. Caldwell’s vote total decreased 616. ...

They’re not missing. They were counted twice the first time around (purposefully). Now they’re feigning ignorance.
The pubbies have know this for years, since Allen West had his seat stolen in FL district 22, which had more registered voters than legal citizens living there at the time.
They would not pursue it in the court system, and Scott was the gubbenor and did nothing.
The pubbies have known for decades that the demonRATs cheat, all over the country, in every election, and early mail voting has made it so easy that it almost impossible to stop.
Mail in voting, and registering via the DMV was created to make voter fraud easier to accomplish.
The United States that I lived in for my 70 + years is over.
With open borders, voter fraud, no real education of our history and the fact that the USA was founded as a CHRISTIAN COUNTRY, {you could look it up} we are doomed to become another failed socialist experiment.
It is our own fault, but short of another revolution, I have no idea what the solution might be.
Pray to your God, stay armed and alert, enjoy each day knowing that right now, we are way better off than we would be anywhere else in the world.
It is racist to expect the numbers to add up accurately.
Keep in mind that Bush-Gore was decided by 500 FL votes.
People need to understand why the position of Florida Agriculture Commissioner is so important:
That office issues Concealed Carry permits.
Maybe the leg. can pass a law to remove concealed-carry permits from the office of the agriculture commissioner and place then with a more favorable commission.
And much of the blame lies on uninformed, lazy Republican voters too occupied to cast a mere ballot in all elections.
No. More likely, your “some wise ole racist woman” told “some (well-trained) wise guys” to double-run several boxes of ballots (from safe democrat precincts. )
And the older you get the less people understand your humor. They think its gibberish and chalk it up to dementia.
I just noticed that I directed my #9 to your #4 — it was intended for Starstruck’s #3. Sorry, for any confusion created by my flub.
